Geography B J384,01 November 2021, OCR GCSE Past Papers with Mark Schemes

This geography exam explores global hazards, climate change, and distinctive landscapes. Key topics include wind patterns, drought risks, and the geomorphic processes shaping river basins. Students analyze atmospheric CO₂ trends, weathering rates, and sediment load variations, applying these to case studies of non-UK natural hazards and UK river systems. The paper emphasizes sustainable ecosystem management, particularly in polar environments, and fieldwork skills, such as data interpretation and hypothesis testing on sediment size and wind strength. Critical thinking and practical applications of geographical knowledge are central to the assessment.
