Geography 7037/1 June 2021

The exam paper focuses on key physical geography topics, including the water and carbon cycles, desert systems, coastal processes, and glacial landscapes. Questions assess understanding of the interactions between deforestation and temperature changes, the carbon cycle in forests, flood hydrographs, and factors affecting desertification. Data analysis and the assessment of feedback systems play a crucial role in evaluating environmental management. Coastal systems, such as sediment transport and erosion, are explored, alongside the impacts of glaciers on landscapes and the challenges of managing cold environments. The final section examines hazard management, focusing on volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and wildfire governance.
