For each of the following, give the name of the physical feature and describe its main physical
characteristics:
A Doab
(i) A, [3]
Active flood plain/bet/khaddar
- Flooded every/most years/frequently
- New alluvium/alluvium deposited every year/meanders/oxbows/
levees
(up to 2 from this line)
- Dry/braided channels
- 10-18 km/around 15 km wide
- 2-3 m above river level
- Flat/level/plain
(ii) B, [3]
- 10-15 m wide/around 12 m
- Flooded every 7/8 years/when severe floods occur
- Old alluvium (old) levees/abandoned channels/dhoros/meander
(scars)/dried ox-bows/dhands
(up to 2 from this line)
- 3-5 m above river level/around 4 m

(b) Compare the natural topographical and drainage features of the Upper Indus Plain with those
of the Lower Indus Plain. [6]
Topography:
- Both areas are flat/gently undulating
- Land higher in Upper Indus Plain/lower in Lower Indus Plain
- Both areas mainly alluvial/have active flood plain/old flood plain
- Doabs mainly a feature of the Upper Indus Plain /not or rarely found in Lower Indus Plain
- Bar uplands/alluvial terraces in Upper Indus Plain only
- A few low hills in both areas
- Quartzite/slate hills in Upper Indus Plain whereas limestone hills/cuestas in Lower Indus Plain
- Piedmont plains and alluvial fans in both
- Both areas have rolling sand dunes
Drainage:
- Indus has many tributaries in Upper Indus Plain but few in Lower Indus Plain
- Indus has 4/5 large left/east bank tributaries in Upper Indus Plain
- Indus has 1 large and several small right/west bank tributary in Upper Indus Plain’
- Tributaries contribute a huge amount of water to Indus in Upper Indus Plain but very little water to Indus in
Lower Indus Plain
- Meanders/braiding/ox-bows/swamps/etc common in both areas
- Indus delta at southern end of Lower Indus Plain not in Upper Indus Plain
- Wider river in Lower Indus Plain /narrower in Upper Indus Plain /LIP over 1.6 miles wide – Upper
Indus Plain
- 1.4-1.6 miles wide

Topography
-lack of fertility, soil erosion, use of machinery, irrigation
-mountains
-plateaux
- steep slopes
stony soil
- thin soil
-barren land
- ‘mountains/rugged topography unsuitable for farming’
Drainage
-inland drainage basins/salt lakes
-few/small rivers
-rivers dry up/evaporate
-much percolation/loss of water through soil
-‘lack of water for farming

the second point.
Note: Max. 2 marks if no development
2 @ 2 marks [4]
(c) (i) Describe the effect of latitude on day length and temperature in
Pakistan.
day length:
(Pakistan is in the northern hemisphere so) it is tilted towards the sun;
therefore has long(er)/more daylight hours during summer
or
(Pakistan is in the northern hemisphere so) is tilted away from the sun;
therefore has short(er)/fewer daylight hours during winter
temperature:
southern Pakistan is closer to the equator; so has higher temperatures
than northern Pakistan
or
northern Pakistan is further from the equator; so has lower temperatures
than southern Pakistan
southern Pakistan/areas closer to the equator receive more
concentrated/direct/intense rays/of the sun; resulting in higher
temperatures
or
the sun’s rays are dispersed/spread over a larger surface area in the
north; so northern Pakistan is cooler than the south
the sun’s rays are at a higher angle of incidence in southern Pakistan;
making temperatures higher
or
the sun’s rays are at a lower angle of incidence in northern Pakistan;
making temperatures lower
the sun’s rays travel a longer distance through the atmosphere at higher
latitudes; making temperatures lower or vice versa
Note: 2 marks for effect of latitude. 1 mark for effect on day length, 1 mark for
effect on temperature 2 @ 2 marks [4]

(ii) Which of the following factors cause seasonal variations in Pakistan’s climate? Tick (3)
two boxes in the table below:
(d) In 2019, more than 1.2 million people experienced food shortages in the south of Pakistan
due to drought.
Evaluate the extent to which extremes of climate influence the lives of people and the
economy in Pakistan. Give reasons to support your judgement and refer to examples you
have studied. You should consider different points of view in your answer.
flood water can be stored in reservoirs for use at a later date for irrigation
flood waters bring alluvium which can increase fertility of soils
hotter climates can allow new varieties of crops to be grown
most storms such as cyclones and floods occur near the coastal areas
and much of Pakistan’s industry is located further inland
Pakistan can build flood defences to prevent loss of life and to protect
buildings and industries
Pakistan can provide education and emergency action plans to help
protect people from storms
new farming techniques/seeds can resist drought
agriculture is affected but other industries can continue during most [6]
extreme climate events
