Edexcel A Level Geography (9GE0) Paper 03 Marking Scheme 2022. Hazards are those things that pose a threat to life and/or property (1) whereas disasters are events that have (disastrous) consequences for a population (1) Further marks are available by extending this distinction Some definitions of disasters offer thresholds as in 10 deaths, 100 injuries etc. (1) vulnerability is a function of population size, location, preparedness etc. (1) capacity to cope is important in limiting the impact of hazards e.g. by adaptation (1). Do not award a mark for either ‘vulnerability’ or ‘capacity to cope’ unless it is developed by example. Accept any other appropriate response. (4) (1 +1 +1+1) Question number Mark 2 (a) (i) 40-34.4 = 5.6 5.6 2 = 31.36 31.36/34.4 = 0.9 One mark for correct method (1) One for correct result (1) (2) 1 + 1 Question number Mark 2 (a) (ii) Completing the table to give the correct answer can be done in two ways 1. 3.8+0.5+0.8+0.9+0.3 = 6.3 25.3+6.3 = 31.6 = X 2 Or 2. 0.9 + 3.6 = 4.5 19.1+2.3+4.2+4.5+1.5 = 31.6 = X 2 One mark for the method One mark for the correct result. Please note the item to mark includes the previous question, 2(a) (i) – this is to avoid double penalizing students who make an error on 2 (a) (i) and carry that wrong answer over so get the wrong result in 2 (a) (ii). Please credit those answers that use the method correctly (1) and using their data reach a mathematically correct result (1)
