Unit 2 Plate Tectonics

13. The Earth's crust is split into units called what?

(C) Plates

14. What is the difference between convection and continental drift?

(A) Continental drift describes how tectonic plates move and convection explains why they move

15. What layer of the Earth is the arrow pointing at?

Outer core

16. What is this layer of the earth made from? (mantle)

Rock; Melted rock; Liquid rock; Magma

17. Write a paragraph to explain how tectonic plates move by convection.

1 Partial attempt to repeat information from the question or Tectonic plates move by one idea convection/ Magma moves in the mantle. 2 Basic attempt to describe 2 or more steps Magma rises, spreads out and sinks again. 3 CAP HERE IF CONVECTION DESCRIBED IN FULL BUT NO Magma in the mantle REFRENCE TO TECTONIC PLATES starts to rise because of Inclusion of all steps without explain why any processes heat from the core. are happening.

4 Thorough description of all steps. Some explanation of Magma in the mantle why processes are happening. starts to rise because of heat from the core. 5 CAP HERE IF NO REFERENCE TO A CYCLE Heat rises from the Thorough description of all steps with some explicit core. This warms up explanation. Using accurate geographical vocabulary magma in the mantle throughout. making it rise. It gets to

the top of the crust and spreads out. 6 Exceptionally thorough explanation of all steps. Accurate As the magma is now use of high level subject vocabulary throughout. further away from the hot core, its temperature starts to fall so it sinks. It is now closer to the rising heat in the base of the mantle, and its temperature begins to rise again…..

Unit 3 Extreme Environments

18. Which statements best explains how plants and animals adapt to survive in extreme environments?

(D) Plants and animals adapt their bodies and behaviour over time to better suit the environment

19. Which statement best explains why it is so hot at the equator?

(A) It gets the most concentrated sunlight which means it is hotter

20. Which line of latitude are tropical climates found?

Equator

21. What is an arid climate like?

Hot and dry – need both for the mark.

22. Write one PEE paragraph to explain how the Fennec fox's climate light coloured fur helps it survive in the extreme heat of the Sahara Desert 1 Simple reason stated, not necessarily It helps the fox blend in with the sand linked to heat 2 Simple reason stated linked to heat It helps the fox lose heat/stay cool 3 Simple reason with statement linked to So the fox doesn’t die from overheating survival of fox 4 Understanding of mechanism Light colours reflect the sunlight. underpins simple reason 5 Simple reason with development of So the fox can stay out in the hot sun explanation for how it enables survival and look for food/ to get the nutrients it needs to survive. 6 Explanation demonstrates awareness So the fox can stay out and look for of wider environment food whilst its predators are hiding from the sun/competitors for food are sheltering.

Unit 4: Rivers

23. Which of the statements about the hydrological cycle is true?

(D) The hydrological cycle never stops

24. Which of these statements about rivers are true?

(D) Rivers change shape as they flow from the source

24. Identify this feature of a river

Confluence

26. What type of erosion does this diagram show?

Hydraulic action

27. Compare the middle course with the upper course of a river

1 mark for each difference identified e.g. Size, load, temperature, number of houses, number of animals increases; energy, altitude, rock size, steepness decreases. 2 marks for each structured comparison e.g. “In the upper course the river is narrow whereas in the lower course the river is wider.”
