OCR A-Level Geography Paper 3 Geographical Debates | 10th June 2024 [Exam Chat]

Tough one that one, none of our costal landscape case studies that we’ve been taught are tectonically active and have any earthquakes. I just went with Dubai and said if they were to experience earthquakes then….

for the hazardous earth 33 marker on evaluating human or physical factor is the most important. I said human factor include the level of development of a country, do you guys think its ok to write that? my conclusion was that level of development will affect the risks contributed, ACs like USA (Northridge) responded to earthquake much better with good preparation, so risks were less. compared to Haiti, they had little preparation and modification to vulnerabilities. second paragraph I said there are exceptions like Japan 2011 where the magnitude was so high that even them can't respond well enough to remove all risks.

Yeah same I just made stuff up and talked about Haiti port liquefaction, guessed about landslides and cliff slumping into sea risk of mass movement, then from what I knew of Tohoku economic activities at coast like tourism n farming (not a case study my sch does tho so I hope it’s in enough detail), and then sediment being taken onshore leaving coastline vulnerable for erosion???

yeah i wrote about 2 paragraphs for cultural reasons being most significant factor (talked about cancer in the uk and how it shows lifestyle choices leading to cancer and also talked about omrans model showing sedentary lifestyle to be correlated with greater incidence of NCDs) and one paragraph about environmental factors being most risk prone (case study of india and how air pollution affects lung related illnesses)

Omg it was actually terrible I do coastal landscape and it was soo bad 😭 😭

Yeah I think it was something to do with the impact of geographical area on a named disease caused by a natural hazard???

Linking tsunami walls built along coast in Japan.... to try to mitigate EQ... linking to effectiveness on EQ Tonka.
Tsunami warning routes near low lying coast. Pacific warning system, to communicate hazard.
Tourism- New Zealand uplift, creating new beaches.
Impact of uplift in Haiti on industry and human activity.
?????

guys i put globalisation and time space compression as one of the factors for disease spread and said how it links to cultural factors and also industrialisation of india. is this complete waffle or a smart idea??
