Three other people were killed in the state by falling trees. ALABAMA • The storm hit Alabama’s coast with huge waves and tree-bending winds. Water swirled in the streets of Gulf Shores. • Homes in a rich section of Mobile Bay were awash in brown water. • At least 400 000 homes and businesses lost power. • The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said about 8 500 people were in 79 shelters. American Red Cross shelters were filled to capacity. • Several of Mississippi’s beachfront casinos were flooded. • In New Orleans, up to 6 metres of water was standing in one poor neighbourhood on the city’s east side. Winds up to 160 kph shattered windows of high-rise office buildings and ripped holes in the roof of the Superdome, where thousands of refugees had sought shelter. A 15 metre water main broke, making it unsafe to drink the city’s water without first boiling it. With 230 kph winds as it made landfall, Katrina left more than a million people in three states without power and flooded highways hundreds of kilometres from the centre of the storm. • Ports and harbours were wrecked and bridges destroyed. = Main track of Hurricane Katrina 0 200 km 61 – 120 kph winds 61 – 120 61 – 120 kph kph winds winds 61 – 120 kph winds Over 120 kph Over 120 kph winds winds Over 120 kph winds US STATE LOUISIANA US STATE Key N Fig. 6 (i) Identify the state where the main track of Hurricane Katrina reached land.

10 0460/01/O/N/07 © UCLES 2007 (b) Study Figs 7A and 7B. Fig. 7A is a newspaper article about the impacts of Hurricane Katrina on energy supplies. Fig. 7B shows information about the oil and gas industry on the Gulf Coast. FUEL FEARS: Storm threatens oil production – petrol prices could rise further By David R. Baker Oil prices rose on Monday, as Hurricane Katrina tore through a stretch of Gulf Coast thick with pipelines and refineries, raising fears that already high petrol prices could rise further. For the first time, the price of crude oil was higher than $70 per barrel, as the storm raced through one of the countryʼs most important oil producing areas. By the time Katrina made landfall early Monday, companies such as Chevron evacuated their offshore platforms. Two drilling rigs used by Royal Dutch/Shell Group were drifting on the open sea, while the fate of others remained unknown. Fig. 7A

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2007 question paper 0460 GEOGRAPHY 0460/01 Paper 1, maximum raw mark 75 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began. All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the examination. • CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2007 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses. www.XtremePapers.com

Page 2 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – October/November 2007 0460 01 © UCLES 2007 The features of the mark scheme Each question carries 25 marks. Candidates cannot earn above the maximum marks available within each sub section. The mark scheme attempts to give guidance about the requirements of each answer and lists a number of responses which will earn marks along with the general principles to be applied when marking each question. It should be noted that candidates can earn marks if their answers are phrased differently provided they convey the same meaning as those in the mark scheme. THE CANDIDATES DO NOT NEED TO USE THE SAME WORDING TO EARN MARKS. The notation ‘etc.’ at the end of an answer in the mark scheme signifies that there may well be other correct responses or examples that can be given credit. Providing the statement is true, relevant to the question asked and not repetition of a previous point made credit should be given. A point made within one sub-section which is an answer to the question set in a different sub-section should not be given credit as each sub-section asks different questions which require independent answers. The mark scheme uses semi colons (;) to separate marks and diagonals to separate alternative answers. Marking mechanics. Point marking is used for sections (a) and (b) of each question, although marks are available in specified questions for development of appropriate points. Ticks should be used to clearly indicate the wording on a script where a mark has been allowed. Where a development point has been allowed the letter ‘D’ should be placed adjacent to the tick. The number of ticks should always be equal to the total number of marks awarded, the mark for each sub-section should be added up and placed in the margin at the end of the sub-section. The total mark for the entire question should be added and transferred to the front of the script. Where a candidate makes a point which is not quite sufficient for credit an upturned ‘V’ insert symbol should be used. If after careful consideration a mark is awarded which gives ‘benefit of doubt’ to the candidate the letter ‘J’ should be placed adjacent to the tick (i.e. the candidate has ‘just’ achieved the mark).

Mark scheme, page 3

Page 3 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – October/November 2007 0460 01 © UCLES 2007 Levels of response marking is used for section (c) of each question. Thus it is the quality of the response which determines which level an answer is achieved rather than the quantity of statements contained within it. However once assigned to a level the mark achieved within that level is determined by the number of points made. Levels 1 and 2 are distinguished by whether statements are simple (Level 1) or developed/elaborated (Level 2). A candidate can immediately enter Level 2 by making developed points without making any Level 1 statements. In order to achieve Level 3 a candidate must have already reached the top end of Level 2 – in addition his/her answer should have a clear example (for 6 marks), and if the answer is place specific as well (7 marks). Where statements are assigned levels by the examiner this should be indicated by the use of L1, L2 and L3 next to the statements. A summary of the overall level and mark awarded should be written at the end of the answer. Ticks should not be used on answers which are marked using levels of response marking. Summary: Level 1 (1 to 4 marks): 1 simple statement (1 mark) 2 simple statements (2 marks) 3 simple statements (3 marks) 4 or more simple statements (4 marks) Level 2 (3 to 5 marks): 1 developed statement (3 marks) 2 developed statements or 1 developed statement + 2 or more simple statements (4 marks) 3 or more developed statements or 2 developed statements + 2 or more simple statements (5 marks) Level 3 (6 or 7 marks) 3 or more developed statements (or 2 developed statements + 2 or more simple statements) + named example (6 marks) 3 or more developed statements (or 2 developed statements + 2 or more simple statements) with at least one piece of place specific detail + named example (7 marks) All answers, whether marked by point marking or levels, should have signs of having been assessed by the examiner. Crosses are acceptable to signify wrong answers and a red line accompanied by the letters ‘I/R’ should be used to indicate those which are irrelevant.
