UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2010 question paper for the guidance of teachers 0460 GEOGRAPHY 0460/11 Paper 11, 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, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. 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 May/June 2010 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses. www.theallpapers.com

Page 2 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2010 0460 11 © UCLES 2010 The features of the marking scheme Each question carries 25 marks. Candidates cannot earn above the maximum marks available within each sub section. The marking 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. During coordination the mark scheme is modified to add points agreed after discussion or to delete any points not allowed. All examiners should ensure that their modified scheme is fully up-to-date before marking begins. 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 (ie the candidate has `just` achieved the mark). 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 L2 by making developed points without making any L1 statements. In order to achieve L3 a candidate must have already reached the top end of L2 – in addition his/her answer should have a clear example, and the answer must be place specific as well (7 marks – L3). 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. www.theallpapers.com

(e.g. in MEDCs buildings are likely to be stronger, MEDCs more likely to have finances to be able to rebuild, MEDCs have warning systems; evacuate plans etc) Level 2 (4–6 marks) Uses named example (only 1 named example) More developed statements explaining why effects of tropical storms are likely to be greater in LEDC than MEDCs. (e.g. in MEDCs buildings are likely to be made of stronger materials therefore there is likely to be less destruction, MEDCs are more likely to have finances and expertise/technology/ equipment to be able to rebuild, MEDCs have warning systems and move people to places of safety etc) NB Max 5 if no named example Level 3 (7 marks) Uses named examples (2 named examples) (e.g. Florida and Bangladesh). Must be comparative. Comprehensive and accurate statements explaining why effects of tropical storms are likely to be greater in LEDC than MEDCs, [7] [Total: 25] www.theallpapers.com

[5] (c) Levels marking Level 1 (1–3 marks) Statements including limited detail describing causes and effects of air or water pollution. (e.g. kills people, makes it hard to breath, factory smoke etc) Level 2 (4–6 marks) Uses named example More developed statements describing causes and effects of air or water pollution. (e.g. increased rates of lung cancer, asthmatics have difficulty breathing, factories producing smoke by burning fossil fuels etc) NB Max 5 if no named example Level 3 (7 marks) Uses named example (e.g. air pollution in Beijing). Comprehensive and accurate statements including some place specific reference. NB Place specific details could include references to specific industries which are polluting, either types of industry or names of firms. Reference may be made to parts of cities in which the industries are located or rivers which flow through the city could be named. Statistics relating to gases or other specific pollutants could be given. Write ‘C’ and ‘E’ in notation to identify causes and effects. L3 must have some reference to both cause and effect.

More balanced use in North America. NB: Must have a comparison. 2 @ 1 mark [2] (iii) Expect ideas such as: people are more dependent on the land in Africa than in North America; Greater proportion used for industry in North America as there are more factories; Greater proportion used in homes in North America because supply infrastructure is more efficient; people own more domestic appliances (washing machines/dishwashers) in North America. NB: Don’t need to look for comparisons. 3 @ 1 mark [3] (iv) Ideas such as: growing population (to feed); more use of irrigation/need for irrigation; more droughts occurring; more agriculture taking place in marginal areas; higher temperatures in many areas; development of hydroponics; use of HYV seeds; etc. 4 @ 1 mark [4] (b) (i) Ideas such as: In tropical areas/close to Equator/tropics; Lots in Southern Hemisphere/South; Many are in Africa; With exception of e.g. Egypt; Some in South/South East Asia; More in LEDC’s/poor countries/under developed countries; Clustered pattern; One mark MAX for examples (e.g. Ethiopia/Nigeria/Somalia; etc) 3 @ 1 mark [3] www.theallpapers.com

Less food production/crops die; so people die of starvation (dev)/malnutrition (dev). Migration to urban areas; as crops fail in rural areas (dev). Slows down economic development; Puts off tourists; Lowers production of manufacturing industries; as water not available for cooling or processing goods (dev).
