investigating how quality of life varies in addiscombe high street

1. location:
   ashburton park
   co op
   addiscombe tram stop

proximity->close to our academy
accesability-> walking distance, safe
Time-fieldwork completed in a day
Contrast- three sites provided enough contrast

Question 7

physical fieldwork

Answer 7

investigating downstream changes in the river Beck

Time: fieldwork completed in a day
contrast: three sites provided enough contrast

Question 8

bar graphs strengths

Answer 8

Summarises a large set of data

Easy to interpret and construct

Shows trends clearly

Question 9

types of bar charts

Answer 9

DIVIDED:
The bars are subdivided to show the information with all bars totalling 100%

The main use of a divided bar chart is to compare numeric values between levels of a variable such as time

Question 9

population pyramids

Answer 9

A type of histogram

Used to show the age-sex of a population

Can be used to show the structure of an area/country

Patterns are easy to identify

Question 9

bar graphs limitations

Answer 9

Requires additional information

Does not show causes, effects or patterns

Can only be used with discrete data

Question 9

line graph strengths

Answer 9

Shows trends and patterns clearly

Quicker and easier to construct than a bar graph

Easy to interpret

Requires little written explanation

Question 10

line graphs limitation

Answer 10

Does not show causes or effects

Can be misleading if the scales on the axis are altered

If there are multiple lines on a graph it can be confusing

Question 11

pie charts strengths

Answer 11

Clearly shows the proportion of the whole

Easy to compare different components

Easy to label

Information can be highlighted by separating segments

Question 11

pie charts limitation

Answer 11

Do not show changes over time

Difficult to understand without clear labelling

Hard to compare two sets of data

Can only be used for a small number of categories otherwise lots of segments become confusing

Question 12

rose diagrams

Answer 12

Use multidirectional axes to plot data with bars

Compass points are used for the axis direction

Can be used for data such as wind direction, noise or light levels

Question 13

triangular graphs

Answer 13

Have axes on three sides all of which go from 0-100

Used to display data which can be divided into three

The data must be in percentages

Can be used to plot data such as soil content, employment in economic activities

Question 13

scatter graphs strengths

Answer 13

Clearly shows data correlation

Shows the spread of data

Makes it easy to identify anomalies and outliers

Question 14

scatter graph limitations

Answer 14

Data points cannot be labelled

Too many data points can make it difficult to read

Can only show the relationship between two sets of data

Question 15

choropleth limitation

Answer 15

Makes it seem as if there is an abrupt change in the boundary

Distinguishing between shades can be difficult

Variations within the value set are not visible

Question 15

choropleth strengths

Answer 15

The clear visual impression of the changes over space

Shows a large amount of data

Groupings are flexible

Question 16

proportional symbols map strengths

Answer 16

Illustrates the differences between many places

Easy to read

Data is specific to particular locations

Question 17

proportional symbols map
limitations

Answer 17

Not easy to calculate the actual value

Time-consuming to construct

Positioning on a map may be difficult, particularly with larger symbols

Question 18

photographs strengths

Answer 18

An accurate record of the time

Can represent things more clearly than numerical data

Can be used to show data-collection techniques

Can be used next to historical photographs to show changes over time

Helps recall key features

Question 19

photographs limitation

Answer 19

Not all photographs are relevant Can be subjective and biased as the student selects what is photographed Photographs sometimes contain too much information They are two dimensional so judging depth is difficult

Question 20

field sketches strength

Answer 20

Things can be left out of the sketch if they are not relevant to the enquiry Smaller important areas can be more detailed Gives a broad overview of the features Helps recall of key features

Question 21

field sketches limitations

Answer 21

The scale in the sketch may be inaccurate Important details may be missed The sketch may contain inaccuracies which affect the analysis for example more litter than there was at the site

Question 22

maps strengths

Answer 22

Size and scale of features/site can be accurately measured Key to show features around the sample sites Allows distribution of features to be shown accurately

Question 23

maps limitation

Answer 23

The map may be out of date Maps cannot show changes over time Bias may be introduced by highlighting certain features

Question 24

9 marker REJMELOAL

Answer 24

positive } RE(social): reduced journey time + energy security JM(economic): jobs -> multiplier effect EL(environmental): electricity generation ,less CO2 negative } O(social): overcrowding-> tourism A(economic): affordability L(environmental) loss of habitats:

Question 25

data collection from physical field work

Answer 25

primary: width, depth, velocity, sediment size , sediment roughness(qualitative)(degree of roundness), field sketch secondary: urban land use, flood records, news reports, photographs

Question 26

data presentation for physical geography

Answer 26

horizontal bar graph for width vertical bar graph for depth

Question 27

sources of error in physical geography

Answer 27

human error - lack of tension in tape, not eye level, lack of visibility to side , walking in water effecting velocity

Question 27

data collection for human fieldwork:

Answer 27

primary: traffic count, questionnaire, index of decay , field sketches Secondary: crime data, land use survey, photographs

Question 28

data presentation for human field work

Answer 28

- radar graphs -stacked bar charts

Question 29

sources of error in human field work

Answer 29

secondary data is not reliable -> could be out of date human error day and time might change factors such as traffic count traffic count affected by things such as congestion, roadwork people are bias
