Section A – Landscape Systems Answer all questions from one option. Option A – Coastal Landscapes 1 (a) With reference to a case study, explain the influence of unintentional human activity on ... coastal landscapes. [8] (b) Study Fig. 1a, a cliff at Cathedral Cove, New Zealand and Fig. 1b, a cliff at Praia da Luz, Portugal. (i) Using evidence from Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b, compare and contrast the characteristics of the two cliffs shown. [4] (ii) With reference to either Fig. 1a or Fig. 1b, explain how flows of energy have shaped the cliff. [3] (c) Study Table 1 which shows the tide timetable for Beach A and Beach B on the 15th August 2017. Beach A Beach B Time Height (m) Time Height (m) Low tide 0152 0.72 0437 2.64 High tide 0755 5.38 1046 6.97 Low tide 1430 1.13 1719 2.41 High tide 2030 5.16 2344 7.20 Table 1 Tide timetable for Beach A and Beach B Calculate the maximum tidal range of the beach with the largest tidal range. You must show your working. [2] (d)* ‘Cooling climates rather than warming climates have a more significant influence on coastal landscapes.’ How far do you agree with this view? [16]3 © OCR 2017 Practice paper H481/01 Turn over Option B – Glaciated Landscapes 2 (a) With reference to a case study, explain the influence human activity has on periglacial landscapes. [8] (b) Study Fig. 2a, D’Aosta Valley, Italy and Fig. 2b, Tunnel Valley, USA. (i) Using evidence from Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b, compare and contrast the characteristics of the two valleys shown. [4] (ii) With reference to either Fig. 2a or Fig. 2b, explain how flows of energy have shaped the valley. [3] (c) Study Table 2, which shows the mean altitude of glaciers in the Alps and Rockies. Glacier 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Alps 3893 4334 3973 3330 3807 4014 3356 Rockies 3445 3654 2643 3713 3350 2641 2809 Table 2 Mean altitude (metres) of glaciers in the Alps and Rockies Calculate the altitude range of the glaciated landscape with the largest altitude range.
