Jayabheri is a new area on the edge of the city and Begumpet is an older area nearer to the city centre. They decided to test the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: The pattern of migration into the two areas is different. Hypothesis 2: People who have moved into each area think that they are good places in which to live. (b) To test their hypotheses the students did a questionnaire survey with 50 people in each area.

12 0460/41/M/J/15 © UCLES 2015 2 A group of students were planning fieldwork on a local beach. One of the students drew a sketch map of the area which is shown in Fig. 7 (Insert). The students wanted to investigate the action of longshore drift on the beach, and whether longshore drift could be reduced by groynes. Groynes are structures built out into the sea to stop or slow down longshore drift. Groynes are shown in Photograph A (Insert). (a) Explain why their teacher suggested the following safety precautions before the students began their fieldwork. 1 Check the times of high and low tide. … … 2 Check the weather forecast for the area. … … 3 Make sure that their cell (mobile) phone is fully charged. … …[3] (b) (i) The students had learned that the direction of longshore drift is usually related to the prevailing wind direction. Describe a simple method the students could use to work out the prevailing wind direction at the beach. … … … …[2]

14 0460/41/M/J/15 © UCLES 2015 The students decided to investigate the following hypotheses in the area shown in Fig. 7 (Insert) where part of the coastline is protected by groynes. Hypothesis 1: More longshore drift takes place on the unprotected coastline than on the protected coastline. Hypothesis 2: Groynes reduce the movement of material along a beach. (c) (i) To test Hypothesis 1, the students dropped an orange into the sea at the water’s edge at each of the six sites shown on Fig. 7. They marked the starting position with a ranging pole and measured the distance the orange moved along the beach in 5 minutes. The students did the test three times at each site. The results are shown in Table 5 below.

They did this at three points along each groyne. This technique is shown in Fig. 10 (Insert) and their results are shown in Table 6 (Insert).
