Paper 2

Review on Candidates’ Performance in Paper 1

Overall Comments in Section A

• The average number of questions answered correctly

by candidates was 25.

• There was a slight improvement in the overall

performance of candidates as compared with last year.

• Five questions in which distractors were more popular

than the key have been selected for further discussion.

24

Section A: Item 3

• Candidates choosing option B likely calculated the average gradient of the section of Repulse Bay Road using the straight line distance between the two road junctions instead of the actual length of the road.

25

Section A: Item 4

• Candidates who chose Option D might have interpreted the map extract not in details and therefore overlooked the fact that the view of Cape Collison from spot height 348 would be blocked by Pottinger Peak.

26

Section A: Item 21

• Candidates who chose Option B might not have realised that an increase in tariffs will result in a restriction of foreign import of goods and therefore helps attract the manufacturing industry to return.

27

Section A: Item 23

• Candidates who chose Option D might have misinterpreted the rise in rural population as suburbanisation.

28

Section A: Item 26

• Candidates who chose Option A might have overlooked the fact that reducing the number of bus stops can improve air quality at street level because it reduces the time buses idle with their engines still running.

29

Overall Comments in Sections B & C

• Candidates should apply geographical knowledge

and concepts in their answers.

• Candidates should avoid writing vast amount of

information by memory in the answers.

• Candidates should enhance their spatial concepts

and apply appropriate geographical concepts and

terminology when answering the questions.

30

Overall Comments in Sections B & C (cont.)

• Candidates’ answers should not be confined by

‘framework’ or ‘rules’.

• Candidates should not make inappropriate

comparisons between two items for the purpose of

stating their ‘similarities’ and ‘differences’, or raise

non-geographical, irrelevant, illogical, or

contradictory justifications to achieve the discussion

of ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ arguments.

31


• Candidates should interpret the questions

cautiously and be alert to the key terms for a clear

understanding of their requirements.

• For questions of ‘discuss whether’, candidates

should state clearly their stance of ‘whether or not’,

and avoid giving an ambiguous conclusion.

32


• Candidates should get used to extracting relevant evidence from various information and data to support their arguments, so as to improve their performance in such types of questions. Candidates should also organise such evidence systematically to correspond with their arguments.

• Candidates should avoid oversimplifying or stereotyping the problems in the less developed countries.

33

34

Section B: Question 1 (a) Refer to Figure 1a. Answer the following questions with reference to the plate tectonics theory.

(i) Compare the locations of earthquakes in areas X and Y.

• Some candidates wrote answers unrelated to the plate tectonics theory or the locations of earthquakes, e.g. coastal areas.

• Some candidates described the locations but not compared.

• Fair. Quite a number of candidates stated the location of the earthquake of either area X or area Y incorrectly at the constructive/ conservative plate boundary.

35

Section B: Question 1 (cont.) (a) (ii) Account for the occurrence of the earthquake in area Y.

• Good. Most candidates gave a detailed and systematic account of the occurrence of the earthquake in area Y.

• Many candidates could use appropriate geographical terms in explanation, e.g. stress, release of energy, seismic waves, etc.

• However, some candidates described and explained

plate movement rather than earthquake. • Some candidates wrote ‘ fracture of plate’ instead of

fracture of rock.

36

Section B: Question 1 (cont.) (b) (i) Describe the differences in losses between the earthquakes of areas X and Y.

• Good. Most candidates could interpret the data and describe correctly the differences in death toll and economic loss between the earthquakes of areas X and Y.

37

Section B: Question 1 (cont.) (b) (ii) Quoting evidence from Figure 1b

and Table 1c, explain the differences

mentioned in (b) (i)

• Fair. Most candidates stated the socio-economic factors leading to the differences in death toll in the earthquakes.

38

Section B: Question 1 (cont.)

• Some candidates stated the differences in earthquake magnitudes and GDP per capita between the two areas but without further explanation.

• Many candidates either did not quote relevant evidence systematically to support their explanations, or did not use appropriate geographical terminology.

?

Coastal location = Tsunami? Better design =

Quakeproof buildings?

39


• Candidates generally did not explain correctly the higher economic loss in area X.

• Some candidates gave contradictory explanations.

“The death toll in area

X was smaller

because of the large

number of quakeproof

buildings, but there

was greater economic

loss since more

buildings collapsed.”

40

Section B: Question 1 (cont.) (c) Refer to Figure 1a and Table 1c. Discuss whether the earthquake in area X might have

triggered the earthquake in area Y.

Directions and rates of plate movement

Distance & energy loss of seismic waves

• Poor. Most candidates did not apply geographical concepts.

41


• Quite a number of candidates either quoted irrelevant information or made a simple logical deduction only.

• The majority of candidates did not arrive at a conclusion.

? ? ?

42

Section B: Question 2 (a) Refer to Figure 2a, Figure 2b and the map extract (1:20 000) of Hong Kong.

(i) Identify coastal landforms P and Q.

Good. Most candidates correctly identified coastal landforms P and Q.

43

Section B: Question 2 (cont.) (a) (ii) Quoting map evidence, suggest the physical factors favouring the formation of

coastal landforms P and Q respectively.

• Satisfactory. Candidates generally had clear concepts of the physical factors which were favourable for the formation of the two coastal landforms, such as fetch, degree of site exposure, etc.

• However, many candidates were not used to quoting relevant map evidence to support their answers.

P Q

44

Section B: Question 2 (cont.) (a) (ii) Quoting map evidence, suggest the

physical factors favouring the

formation of coastal landforms P

and Q respectively.

• Candidates were especially weak in quoting evidence for the two physical factors of ‘depth of water offshore’ and ‘offshore gradient’.

• Some candidates might have misinterpreted the question and gave irrelevant answers like the formation of coastal landforms or the characteristics of destructive/ constructive waves.

Submarine

contour line

Depth

45

Section B: Question 2 (cont.) (a) (iii) Describe and explain the formation of coastal landform P.

• Good. Candidates generally correctly described and explained the formation of coastal landform P.

• However, some candidates omitted a few key processes in the answer, such as undercutting, sea cliff retreat, etc.

46

Section B: Question 2 (cont.) (b) Refer to Figure 2b, Photograph 2c and the map extract (1:20 000) of Hong Kong.

(i) Identify coastal management strategy R shown in Photograph 2c. Explain how the

strategy protects the coast.

• Good. Most candidates correctly identified coastal management strategy R with proper explanation.

47

Section B: Question 2 (cont.) (b) (ii) Assume there is a need to protect coastal landform Q.

With regard to the present use of coastal landform Q, discuss whether coastal

management strategy R is appropriate.

• Fair. Although many candidates stated the pros and cons of coastal management strategy R, only some discussed them with reference to the present use of the coastal site, using less profound arguments in general.

• Some candidates suggested other coastal management strategies.

• Many candidates gave ambiguous conclusion without taking a clear stance.

• A small number of candidates might have overlooked the impact of wave erosion on beaches and raised such an incorrect argument that ‘protection of the beach is unnecessary as it is formed by wave deposition’.

48

Section B: Question 3 (a) Refer to Map A in Figure 3b and Photograph 3c.

(i) Identify land use X.

Fair. Some candidates did not name land use X correctly.

49

Section B: Question 3 (cont.) (a) Refer to Map A in Figure 3b and Photograph 3c.

(ii) What adverse environmental impact may

be brought about by land use X?

• Good. Most candidates could describe the adverse environmental impact.

• However, the descriptions given by some candidates tended to be general, such as affecting the ecosystem, reducing the biodiversity, etc.

• Some candidates confused ‘air pollutants’ and ‘greenhouse gases’.

Candidates should answer according to the specific situation of the question.

50

Section B: Question 3 (cont.) (b) Refer to Figure 3b.

(i) According to Map B, describe how the land occupied by land use X is to be developed.

• Fair. Most candidates described generally how the land occupied by land use X is to be developed.

• However, only a small fraction of candidates described in detail the land development of different spaces.

Spatial difference

51

Section B: Question 3 (cont.) (b) (ii) Explain how the above development may help alleviate the adverse environmental

impact mentioned in (a) (ii).

• Fair. Most candidates tended to give general and nonspecific explanation.

• The knowledge of candidates in land use planning was generally inadequate.

• Many candidates had an incorrect concept of green area like its purpose to slow down global warming or provide wildlife habitats.

• They should illustrate how to utilise green area as buffer zone and in landscaping to reduce land use conflicts.

52

Section B: Question 3 (cont.) (c) Refer to Figure 3a and Map B in Figure 3b.

Explain how the transport system may foster economic development in Hung Shui Kiu NDA.

• Fair. Many candidates answered the question with general knowledge and their explanation tended to be nonspecific, e.g. accessibility.

Many candidates emphasised the economic benefits brought about by cross-border visitors while overlooking the importance of cross-border goods transport to the NDA.

Candidates should explain concretely how the MTR station and highway foster economic activities of the adjacent land uses.

53

Section B: Question 3 (cont.) (d) Refer to Figure 3b and Table 3d.

Discuss whether the planning of Hung Shui Kiu NDA may help achieve social sustainability.

• Poor. The knowledge of most candidates in ‘social sustainability’ was inadequate.

• Many candidates discussed economic and environmental sustainability which were irrelevant.

• Candidates generally stated only the increase in housing and job opportunities.

54

Section B: Question 3 (cont.) • Candidates should analyse the information provided in the question for an

in-depth discussion. • Most candidates did not take a clear stance in the conclusion.

Keeping of

rural

settlement

Importance of

green area and

park to the

community

55

Section B: Question 4 (a) Refer to Figure 4a. Describe and explain the global distribution of tropical rainforests.

• Most candidates described the general global distribution of tropical rainforests.

• They could briefly explain the distribution.

• Some candidates explained the temperature and rainfall characteristics of tropical rainforests rather than the distribution.

Some candidates might have misinterpreted the question and wrote irrelevant answers like describing the reduction of tropical rainforest area.

56

Section B: Question 4 (cont.) (b) Refer to Figure 4b.

(i) Compare the characteristics of vegetation between a tropical rainforest and an

oil palm plantation.

• Good. Most candidates correctly identified and compared the characteristics of

vegetation between a tropical rainforest and an oil palm plantation. • Many candidates could use the proper terms, e.g. structure, density, biodiversity,

etc. in making comparison.

• Some candidates mixed up the characteristics of ‘vegetation’ and ‘trees’, e.g. buttress roots, drip-tip leaves, etc.

57

Section B: Question 4 (cont.) (b) (ii) Describe and explain how the energy flow within the oil palm plantation ecosystem

differs from that of the tropical rainforest.

• Poor. Most candidates showed inadequate knowledge. • Few candidates could describe and explain correctly the changes of energy flow

(shorter but not faster) within the oil palm plantation ecosystem. • Many candidates confused ‘nutrient cycle’ and ‘energy flow’.

• Some candidates correctly described the changes in trophic levels and food web but without further explaining how such changes affect energy flow.

58

Section B: Question 4 (cont.) (c) Refer to Table 4c. Account for the decreasing rainforest area in Indonesia from 2000 to 2015.

• Satisfactory. Most candidates explained by referring to the figures in Table 4c.

Some candidates gave general explanations like increase in food demand or housing demand due to population increase.

They should also refer to the situation of oil palm growing in Indonesia.

59

Section B: Question 4 (cont.) (d) Refer to Figure 4a and Table 4c. Discuss whether limiting the area of oil palm plantations in

Indonesia may help conserve tropical rainforests in the world.

• Fair. Most candidates only described the general difficulties of limiting the area of oil palm plantations, e.g. corrupted government, lack of monitoring, etc. (Stereotyping and without referring to the information given)

• Many candidates focused their discussion on the conservation of tropical rainforest in Indonesia but not of ‘the world’.

• Most candidates did not arrive at a conclusion in their discussion.

60

Section B: Question 4 (cont.) (d) Refer to Figure 4a and Table 4c. Discuss whether limiting the area of oil palm plantations in

Indonesia may help conserve tropical rainforests in the world.

• Some candidates noted other activities might have caused deforestation in other rainforests.

• Some candidates calculated the area of rainforest in Indonesia conserved.

• Candidates should give more specific and in-depth discussion with reference to the information provided.

Section C: Question 5 Account for the locational factors leading to the clustering of the iron and steel industry in China

after the 1970s. Explain how these locational factors affected the clustering of the IT industry in

the US.

61

• Poor. Candidates commonly had inadequate knowledge of the factors leading to the clustering of iron and steel industry in China after the 1970s.

• Many candidates simply wrote a brief and general description of the spatial changes of iron and steel industry in China from the 1970s, or even from the 1950s, until after 2000.

• Some candidates gave general locational factors of the industry only, i.e. iron ore, coal, cooling water, etc. without referring to ‘clustering’ or ‘after the 1970s’.

• Some candidates mentioned the ‘open door policy’ but without a specific and correct explanation of how the policy has led to the clustering of the iron and steel industry. Their answers were often a general description of the policy and setting up of SEZ only.

Section C: Question 5 (cont.) Account for the locational factors leading to the clustering of the iron and steel industry in China

after the 1970s. Explain how these locational factors affected the clustering of the IT industry in

the US.

62

• Most of the answers given by candidates were either too general or

irrelevant, e.g. clustering of IT industry in CHINA.

• Many candidates only described and explained the multi-point production of

the IT industry and its advantages.

• Some candidates had their answers related to IT industry in the US but they

generally did NOT respond to the clustering of industry; instead they mostly

explained the general locational factors affecting the IT industry, such as

greenfield sites, etc.

• Inadequate knowledge of the clustering pattern of IT industry and the

locational factors, i.e. government policy, agglomeration economies,

transport, technology, etc. was common among candidates.

Section C: Question 6 Describe and explain the physical factors leading to frequent famine in the Sahel region.

Discuss whether the growing of genetically modified crops may alleviate the famine

problem in this region.

63

• Fair. The majority of candidates correctly described the physical environment

of the Sahel region, mostly illustrated with appropriate examples of rivers

and lakes and climatic data.

• However, candidates commonly explained only the farming constraints of the

region without stating correctly the physical factors leading to frequent

famine, such as unreliable rainfall and low carrying capacity of land, etc.

• Some candidates were not able to identify nomadic herding as the major

traditional farming in the region.

Section C: Question 6 (cont.) Describe and explain the physical factors leading to frequent famine in the Sahel region.

Discuss whether the growing of genetically modified crops may alleviate the famine

problem in this region.

64

• Most candidates only suggested the general merits and demerits of genetically modified (GM) crops.

• Most candidates did not discuss according to the specific physical (prolonged drought) and human (change from nomadic herding to sedentary farming, subsistence to commercial farming of GM crops for export) environment in the Sahel region.

• Candidates should also discuss whether GM crops may alleviate the socio-economic factors leading to frequent famine in the Sahel region.

• Some candidates discussed irrelevant issues, such as the problems (e.g. super-pests) brought about by the growing of GM crops, or other more effective measures (e.g. drip irrigation) to alleviate the famine problem.

• Candidates should make a clear conclusion when discussing whether GM crops may alleviate the famine problem.

Section C: Question 7 Account for the increasing greenhouse gas emissions in less developed countries. Discuss the

constraints encountered by less developed countries in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

65

• Fair. Most candidates had a general understanding of the human activities emitting greenhouse gases.

• Not many candidates could explain the increasing trend, i.e. rapid industrial development and urbanisation in less developed countries.

• Many candidates over-emphasised the impact of farming, e.g. paddy, cattle rearing, etc.

• Some candidates gave irrelevant answers, such as the reduction in carbon sink resulted from deforestation, factors of the relocation of industries from more developed countries to less developed countries, etc.

• Some candidates quoted information of Indonesia directly from Question 4 in Section B as examples to illustrate their answers.

• Some candidates confused ‘greenhouse gases’ and ‘air pollutants’.

Section C: Question 7 (cont.) Account for the increasing greenhouse gas emissions in less developed countries. Discuss the

constraints encountered by less developed countries in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

66

• Most candidates raised arguments which were general and superficial, such

as corrupted government, lack of capital, low technological level or

environmental awareness, etc., showing their inadequate knowledge of the

issue.

• Candidates showed a tendency of oversimplifying or stereotyping the

problems in the less developed countries.

• Very few candidates discussed specifically the constraints of developing

green energy or energy saving technology.

• Candidates should also consider the difficulties of cutting emissions in less

developed countries brought about by their low per capita emissions.
