Section A
Answer either Question 1 or Question 2 from this section.
1 A group of students were investigating theme park tourism at Universal Studios

Japan in Osaka, Japan. Fig. 1 shows part of the questionnaire used by students.
A part of the questionnaire
1. Are you a visitor to Japan? Yes / No
2. Which country are you from? …………………………………………………………
3. Which age group are you in?
Under 15 15 – 24 25 – 34 35 – 44 45 – 54 55 – 64 Over 65
4. Why have you chosen to visit Universal Studios Japan?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Fig. 1
(a) Describe the advantages and disadvantages of using an open-ended

question like Question 4 in the questionnaire. [3]
Suggested answer (1 mark per point):

● Open-ended questions provide a high level of detail about tourists’
reasons for visiting the site.
● However, they take a longer time for respondents to answer.
● Answers may also be subjective / opinions rather than factual.

(b) The students identified two possible sites to carry out the questionnaire
surveys. Fig. 2 shows the locations of these sites in Universal Studios
Japan.
Location of interview sites within Universal Studios Japan
Fig. 2
The students eventually decided to carry out the surveys at Location A.

Using Fig. 2, explain why this was a better choice than Location B. [2]

● Location A is situated near the entrance of the park where all
tourists would have to pass by to get to the attractions, thus the
students are easily able to find people to interview.
● Location B is located at the deep end of the park not near the
attractions where not all tourists would visit, especially if they are
not fans of Nintendo or Jurassic Park.
Award 1m only if answers describe the location without explaining how it

affects the number of tourists available for the interview (e.g. ‘Location A is
near the entrance of the park while Location B is at the deep end of the
park’)
Answers must compare Location A to B (question states ‘better choice

than Location B’)

(c) The students wanted to conduct a pedestrian count at Location A. Describe

how this pedestrian count could be carried out. [3]

● Timing – Identify two different times of 10 minutes to conduct the
pedestrian count (accept alternatives if logical e.g. 3 times, 15
minutes)
● Method – Using the counter, count the number of pedestrians who
visit Location A over 10 minutes
● Stratifying – Stratify / split the pedestrians counted into sub-groups
/ age groups
Do not accept ‘two different sites’ – Location A is one place, no point counting
at multiple sites that are near each other
Accept other types of sub-groups for stratification as hypothesis is not stated
(d) The students surveyed 100 tourists and recorded their age groups in Table 1.
They then plotted their results in a bar graph shown in Fig. 3.

(ii) The students concluded that “The younger the tourists, the more likely
they are to visit theme parks like Universal Studios Japan”. To what
extent do you agree with their conclusion? Give reasons for your
answer, using evidence from Fig. 3. [3]

● I agree to a large extent. Majority of the tourists visiting
Universal Studios Japan are young, with 63 out of 100
respondents aged 15 to 44.
● In contrast, there were very few senior citizens at the theme
park, with only 12 of 100 respondents aged 55 and above.
● However, an anomaly is that the youngest age group of under
15 years old had relatively few respondents, with only 12.

2 A group of students wanted to investigate the variations in temperature and

relative humidity at different parts of East Coast Park. They identified four
locations in East Coast Park to collect their data, and marked them on a map
shown in Fig. 4.
Map of locations in East Coast Park
Fig. 4
(a) Name the weather instrument that the students would use to record the data
for relative humidity. [1]
Sling psychrometer / wet-and-dry-bulb thermometer [1]
(b) Explain how the students should collect the data for relative humidity in order
to ensure that the readings are accurate. [3]

● Ensure that the starting temperatures of both wet and dry bulbs are
the same to ensure accuracy of data. / Ensure that the instrument is
in proper working condition. [1]
● Swing the sling psychrometer one meter / one arm’s length away
from body to ensure that body heat does not affect the reading. [1]
● Swing the sling psychrometer at chest level to ensure that the heat
from the ground does not affect the reading. [1]
● Take readings at eye level to avoid parallax error. [1]
Accuracy – proper use of instruments

Reliability – consistency of results obtained
Do not accept points for reliability, as question asks for accuracy

D 28.6 28.5 30.1 31.0 27.7 29.2
(i) Complete Table 2 with the average temperature recorded for Location [1]
D.
(ii) Apart from using tables, name and describe one method the students
could use to present the average temperatures shown in Table 2. [3]

● Students can present the information using a bar graph
● Students can place the location as the x-axis horizontally and
average temperature as the y-axis vertically.
● Include a title and label the x and y-axes with appropriate tick
marks / intervals for each variable
(d) Using information from Fig. 4 and Table 2, state how far the hypothesis ‘The
less vegetation found in a location, the higher the temperature’ is supported
or rejected and give reasons for your answer. [3]

● The hypothesis is only supported to a small extent. Location A,
located in the carpark, has the least amount of vegetation and
recorded the highest temperature of 30.5 °C.
● However, the forested area of Location D recorded a temperature of
29.2 °C, which was not the lowest temperature.
● Instead, the lowest temperature of 28.6 °C was recorded in Location
C, which was near the beach and did not have as much vegetation
other than grass.
Accept ‘to a large extent’ if answers are able to support with appropriate
evidence (e.g. Location A, B, D follows the trend, but Location C is the
anomaly)

9
(e) One student suggested collecting data three times each day. Explain why this
change would improve the reliability of the data collected. [2]

● It provides a larger sample size to assess if the data collected is
consistent across different times of the day when the temperature
conditions are different.
● Collecting data during both the day and night captures the natural
variation in temperatures throughout the day due to the effect of
the sun on temperature.
● In addition, this prevents anomalies from skewing the data
collected from a small sample.
● It also reduces the effect of any errors that may occur during the
data collection.
● Hence, the average reading for each day is more reliable
compared to only having one dataset per day.
Accept all plausible answers.

Section B
Answer Question 3 from this section.
3 (a) Study Fig. 5, a graph which shows the international tourist arrivals to four
countries from 1995 to 2019.
International tourist arrivals to four countries from 1995 to 2019
Fig. 5
Using Fig. 5, compare the trends in international tourist arrivals to the four
countries from 1995 to 2019. [3]

● All four countries saw an increase in international tourist arrivals
from 1995 to 2019, with China having the largest increase from 20
million to 51 million.
● From 1995 to 1998, while Malaysia decreased from 7 million to 5
million arrivals, all other countries experienced a rise in
international tourist arrivals
● From 2002 to 2003, only Germany’s arrivals increased slightly
from 18 million to 19 million, while China and Malaysia experienced
a sharp decline and Japan remained constant.
● From 2007 to 2009, both China and Japan experienced a decline
in arrivals, while Malaysia experienced an increase from 21 to 24
million and Germany experienced no net change at 25 million.
Accept any 3 plausible points that are supported with data (years + number)
Reserve 1 mark for similarity. Maximum 1 mark if no units (millions).

11
(b) Study Fig. 6, a map of tourist attractions in Iceland.
Map of tourist attractions in Iceland
Fig. 6
Using Fig. 6, describe the location of the tourist attractions in Iceland. [3]

● Majority of the tourist attractions (17) are situated near to main road.
● There a larger number of tourist attractions in the southwest part of
Iceland, with 9 along the southwest coastline.
● There are some attractions closer to the central part of the island,
such as in Vatnajokull National Park / about 75 km away from the main
road.
● A few attractions are further away, located 100 km or more from the
main road in the northwest part of Iceland / near Isafjordur / Olafsvil.
Each point must be accompanied by map evidence (e.g. main road, compass
direction, place name, distance) to gain the mark
Accept other plausible answers (e.g. coastal vs. inland)

12
(c) ‘The economic benefits of tourism outweigh the negative impacts on the
locals.’
To what extent do you agree with this statement? Support your answer with [6]
examples.
Key content:
Benefits (choose one)

● Employment opportunities: Tourism offers many employment opportunities to
locals. These jobs can be directly related to tourism, such as in hotels or souvenir
shops, or indirectly linked, like as taxi drivers or restaurant owners. Hence, a
growth in tourism can lead to growth in income for both individuals and countries
due to the large source of revenue from tourist spending. For example, fishermen
on Pamilacan Island in the Philippines are hired by tour companies to bring tourists
on whale-sighting trips. They are paid US$80 to US$100 per boat, which is
additional income on top of their fishing livelihood.
● Infrastructure: Tourism also encourages development in infrastructure and
facilities, such as airports, roads, electricity and hotels, as they are necessary for
tourism to operate. These facilities that may have been built to enhance tourism
also benefit locals in terms of connectivity by allowing better access to healthcare,
workplaces and schools. Two prominent examples are the rail systems that were
built in Athens, Greece and Beijing, China, for the 2004 and 2008 Olympics
respectively. Today, long after the games, these systems continue to serve both
tourists and locals.
Negative impacts (choose one)

● Seasonal unemployment: On the other hand, in destinations which rely on tourist
activities that are dependent on climatic conditions, the employment from tourism
can be seasonal and thus result in seasonal unemployment. For example,
mountain ski resorts in destinations like Sapporo, Japan receive many visitors from
December to February due to the availability of winter sports like skiing and
snowboarding. Outside of these seasons, however, employment opportunities may
be reduced, and workers have to find alternative sources of income.
● Under-utilised or costly facilities: On the other hand, facilities built for seasonal
tourist activities or one-off events may be under-utilised, and thus become costly to
maintain or operate. For example, several sporting venues in Beijing, China that
were built for the 2008 Summer Olympics were deteriorating a few years after the
games. Some venues were even renovated to become more profitable, such as
part of the Beijing National Aquatics Centre which was turned into a water park in
August 2010. This problem was so severe that only one-third of sports venues in
China have managed to break even.
Good if students can try to evaluate why the benefits outweigh the negative impacts (or
vice-versa) – e.g. While tour operators may experience seasonal unemployment, the
employment opportunities provided by tourism is likely to have a larger positive impact on
their income.

Section C
Answer either Question 4 or 5 from this section.
4 Study Fig. 7, which shows the formation of relief rainfall.
Formation of relief rainfall
Fig. 7
(a) On Fig. 7, using the appropriate letter, label the following:

● Windward side (A)
● Leeward side (B)
● Prevailing winds (C) [3]
(b) Explain how relief rainfall is formed. [4]
Suggested answer (1 mark per point)

● Relief rainfall occurs when warm, moist air passes over the sea and
arrives at the coast / is blown towards the coast by prevailing wind.
● The air then rises up the windward side of the mountain and is forced to
cool.
● When the temperature of the air reaches dew point, condensation
occurs and clouds form.
● When the water droplets become large and heavy enough, they fall as
rain on the windward side of the mountain.
● The other side of the mountain range, called the leeward side, is usually
dry because most of the moisture would have fallen on the windward
side.
Note: not necessary for answers to discuss the leeward side to attain the full
4 marks, as the question asks for explanation of relief rainfall. However, 1m
can be credited if it is discussed

15
(c) Study Fig. 8, which shows the location and temperatures of Vancouver and
Singapore.
Location and temperatures of Vancouver and Singapore
Fig. 8
Using Fig. 8, identify the annual temperature ranges of Vancouver and

Singapore, and describe the differences in temperature between the two [4]
cities.
Annual temperature range of Vancouver: 15°C (±1°C) [1]
Annual temperature range of Singapore: 2°C OR 3°C only [1]
Differences in temperature (1 mark per point):

● Vancouver has a larger annual temperature range of 15°C
compared to Singapore which has a range of 2°C. (reserve mark for
use of the phrase)
● Vancouver has lower temperatures which do not exceed 18°C
compared to Singapore which has a minimum monthly temperature of
26°C. / Vancouver has a lower average annual temperature of
about 10°C, while Singapore’s is higher at 26°C.
Accept other plausible comparisons (e.g. maximum vs. minimum

temperature)
(d) Explain the effect of latitude on temperature in various places. [3]

● Places with higher latitude have higher temperatures as the sun’s
energy is spread out over a larger area, causing less intense
heating.

16
● The sun’s energy also passes through a further distance through the
atmosphere, causing more energy to be absorbed or reflected.
● Places with lower latitude near the equator have lower
temperatures as the sun’s energy is concentrated in a small area,
causing more intense heating.
● The sun’s energy also passes through a shorter distance of the
atmosphere, causing less energy to be absorbed or reflected.
Accept well-explained answers that discuss high vs. low solar angle
(e) Study Photographs A and B, which show the impacts of climate change in
Australia and the Philippines respectively.
Impact of climate change in Australia Impact of climate change in the

Philippines
Photograph A Photograph B
With the help of Photographs A and B, describe the impacts of climate [5]
change.

● Climate change can result in more frequent extreme weather
events such as forest fires as shown in Photograph A due to the
increased temperatures.
● These can result in significant economic losses and the loss of
lives.
● Climate change can also cause sea level rise, which is the increase
in mean height of sea’s surface between high and low tide relative to
land.
● This may result in the flooding of low-lying islands and areas such
as those in Photograph B.
● 33% of coastal land and wetland habitats are likely to be lost in
the next hundred years if sea levels continue to rise at the current
rates.
Reserve 1m for reference to data (Photographs A and B)

Accept other relevant descriptions (e.g. damage to property, crops). Answers
must discuss both extreme weather and sea level rise to gain full 5 marks

18
(f) ‘Deforestation is the main cause of the enhanced greenhouse effect.’
To what extent do you agree with this statement? Give examples to support [6]
your answer.
Key content:
Deforestation: One major cause of the greenhouse effect is deforestation, which is the
loss of forests due to the removal or clearance of trees. Forests absorb billions of tonnes
of carbon dioxide every year via photosynthesis, taking in a significant amount of global
greenhouse gas emissions. With deforestation, there are fewer trees and plants to absorb
carbon dioxide, leading to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. This
increased carbon dioxide thus leads to an enhanced greenhouse effect. South America
has experienced the greatest overall loss of forests, with the Amazon Rainforest losing
more than 500,000 hectares of forest every year. (Good if students discuss soil carbon,
but not required for full explanation)
Changing land use (other factor): Another cause of the enhanced greenhouse effect is
changing land use due to human activities like agriculture, industries, and urbanization.
Urbanization is the process by which an increasing number of people live in urban areas
like cities or towns. In urban areas, large amounts of fossil fuels are burnt to provide
energy for household activities like heating, cooling, cooking and lighting. The high
concentration of cars, buses and other forms of transport in urban areas also contributes
to the amount of greenhouse gases emitted, thus enhancing the greenhouse effect. For
example, generating electricity for urban areas was responsible for over 50% of
Singapore’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2016. (Good if students are able to recognize
changing land use as a broad category, but not required for full explanation – e.g. if
students discuss just agriculture with no mention of changing land use, it is acceptable)
Students should try to evaluate why one of the factors is the main cause – e.g.
Urbanization is the main cause as most people today live in cities and emit greenhouse
gases, whereas deforestation occurs mainly in countries with forests.

5 Study Fig. 9, which shows an earthquake occurring at a plate boundary.
Earthquake occurring at a plate boundary
Fig. 9
(a) On Fig. 9, using the appropriate letter, label the following: [3]
● Fault (A)
● Focus (B)
● Epicentre (C)
(b) Identify the type of plate boundary in Fig. 9 and explain how earthquakes [4]
occur at this type of plate boundary.

● Fig. 9 shows a transform plate boundary.
● At transform plate boundaries, the plates slide past each other.
● This leads to the formation of a transform fault.
● At the fault, stress builds up over time and is eventually released,
resulting in an earthquake.

21
(c) Study Photographs C and D, which show two types of activities that take
place at or near volcanoes in Bali, Indonesia.
Farmers living near Mount Agung Tourists at Mount Batur
Photograph C Photograph D
With the help of Photographs C and D, describe the benefits of living in

volcanic areas, such as Bali, Indonesia. [4]

● People living in volcanic areas can benefit from fertile soils which
are produced when volcanic rocks are broken down over time.
● These soils are rich in nutrients and support the cultivation of
crops as shown in Photograph C.
● Volcanic areas also provide opportunities for tourism as they offer
a variety of activities for tourists to engage in.
● Many people visit volcanoes to hike and camp in the area or simply
to enjoy the scenery, as shown in Photograph D.
● These activities bring many economic benefits to the locals such as
employment and income from the crops/tourists.
Reserve 1m for reference to data (Photographs C and D)

Answers must discuss both fertile soil and tourism to gain full 4 marks

22
(d) Study Fig. 10, which shows the average extent of cloud cover around the
world in 2021.
Average extent of cloud cover around the world in 2021
Fig. 10
Using Fig. 10, describe the difference in extent of cloud cover between Cairo
and Ho Chi Minh City and explain how this may affect the diurnal
temperature range at these places. [4]
Difference in extent of cloud cover (1m):

● Cairo has a much lower average extent of 0% compared to Ho Chi
Minh City which has an average extent of 80%
Award 1m only if supported with data

Accept if the difference is implied with appropriate linking words (e.g. Cairo
has a low average extent of cloud cover of nearly 0% while Ho Chi Minh
City has a high average extent of about 80%)
How this may affect diurnal temperature range (3m, 1m per point):
● This will result in Cairo having a larger diurnal temperature range
than Ho Chi Minh City.
● In the daytime, Cairo has little clouds to absorb or reflect the sun’s
energy, resulting in higher temperatures in the day.
● At night, the lack of clouds in Cairo means that most of the heat
radiated from the earth’s surface can escape into space, leading to
lower night time temperatures.
1m for comparison of diurnal temperature range

2m for explanation of both day and night (either Cairo or Ho Chi Minh City)

23
(e) Explain the formation of the southwest monsoon winds. [4]

● From June to September, it is summer in Central Asia and the Indian
sub-continent. Hot air expands and rises, creating an area of low
pressure over Central Asia.
● During the same period, Australia experiences lower temperature.
Cool air contracts and sinks, creating an area of high pressure
develops over it.
● Air moves from an area of high to low pressure, so air moves from
Australia to Central Asia (and the Indian sub-continent).
● The Coriolis Effect deflects the winds to the right after they cross
the equator, forming the southwest monsoon.
Reserve 1m for reference to specific locations (instead of just hemispheres)
(f) ‘Population density is the most important factor in determining the extent of
damage in a location after an earthquake.’
How far do you agree with this statement? Give examples to support your [6]
answer.
Key content:
Population density: Population density refers to the number of people living in an urban
area of a certain size. Greater risk is posed to a densely populated city compared to an
area with little people. As there are more buildings in dense urban areas, these will be
more likely to collapse in the event of an earthquake and thus contribute to a more severe
extent of damage. More people also live in these areas, thus increasing the likely death toll
compared to less populated areas. For example, the 2011 Japan earthquake caused
nearly 20,000 deaths and was devastating because it occurred near large cities like Tokyo.
In contrast, the 1964 Alaska earthquake did not occur in a densely populated area and
only caused 131 deaths despite being a similar magnitude.
Other factor: Magnitude is a measurement of the amount of energy released in an

earthquake, represented on the Richter scale. A higher magnitude means that more
energy is released, thus resulting in more severe ground shaking. Hence, greater damage
would be caused to buildings, roads and urban areas. For example, the 2004 Indian
Ocean earthquake measured a magnitude 9.1 and caused 230,000 deaths and
widespread damage to many areas including Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. However,
the 2018 Palu earthquake which also occurred in Indonesia was magnitude 7.5 and only
caused over 4,000 deaths.
Good answers should attempt to compare how the factors caused varying extents in
damage (e.g. 2011 Japan vs. 1964 Alaska). They should also try to evaluate which is the
most important factor – e.g. Magnitude is the most important because it determines the
amount of energy in the first place.
