Q1 · Students in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya, Africa, were studying population migration

1 Students in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya, Africa, were studying population migration. They did a fieldwork investigation about international migration into their country. (a) (i) Define international migration. ........................................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................................... [1] (ii) The students wanted to find out about pull factors that affect migration. Explain what is meant by pull factors. ........................................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................................... [1] (b) The students did a questionnaire survey with 100 migrants to Kenya. (i) The students used a sampling method where they asked every tenth person who walked past them to complete their questionnaire. What is this method of sampling called? ..................................................................................................................................... [1] (ii) The students realised that not every person they selected would answer their questionnaire. Suggest three reasons why this might happen. 1 ........................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................... 2 ........................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................... 3 ........................................................................................................................................ .....................................................................................................................................

[2] The students decided to investigate different hypotheses using their questionnaire. One student chose to test the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: Most migrants to Kenya came from countries in Africa. Hypothesis 2: The main problems faced by migrants to Kenya vary in importance between different groups of migrants. (d) The answers to question 2 in the questionnaire (Which country did you migrate from when you came to Kenya?) are shown in Table 1.1 (Insert).

Q2 · A class of students in South Africa studied the Bradshaw model

2 A class of students in South Africa studied the Bradshaw model. This model describes how the characteristics of a river change downstream. The model is shown in Fig. 2.1 (Insert). (a) The table below shows some of the characteristics of the Bradshaw model. Add the following characteristics to the correct column in the table. [1] discharge load quantity (amount of load carried by the river) slope angle (gradient) increase further downstream decrease further downstream channel depth roughness of the channel bed The students decided to investigate two other river characteristics included in the Bradshaw model by testing the following hypotheses on the Dawidskraal River: Hypothesis 1: River velocity increases between sites downstream. Hypothesis 2: Load particle size decreases downstream. (b) Before they went to the river to do their fieldwork the students considered possible risks they might need to be aware of. Match each risk with a reason in the following table. One has been completed for you. [2] risk reason hypothermia slippery rocks on the river bed and banks cuts and wounds spiders, snakes and mosquitoes live around the river animal bites people throw rubbish into the river and pollute it waterborne diseases river water becomes very cold in winter (c) The students selected three sites along the river to do their fieldwork. Details of the sites are given below. site 1 located 940 m downstream from the source site 2 located 1920 m downstream from the source site 3 located 2900 m downstream from the source Suggest three factors the students should have considered in choosing their fieldwork sites. 1 ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................... 2 ................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................... 3 ................................................................................................................................................ ............................................................................................................................................. [3] (d) (i) To investigate Hypothesis 1: River velocity increases between sites downstream, the students decided to use the following equipment: orange stopwatch tape measure two bamboo poles Describe how the students used this equipment to measure river velocity by putting the following statements into the correct order in the table below. The first action has been completed for you. [2] • Put an orange in the river at the first pole and start the stopwatch. • Record in a fieldwork notebook the time taken for the orange to travel 10 m. • Stop the stopwatch when the orange reaches the second pole. • Mark the beginning and end of the measured section with a bamboo pole. • Use the tape measure to measure a 10 m section of the river. 1st Use the tape measure to measure a 10 m section of the river. 2nd 3rd 4th 5th (ii) The students repeated their method ten times at each site. Their measurements at site 1 are shown in Table 2.1 (Insert). Which one measurement did the students reject? Explain why they rejected the measurement and replaced it with another one. Rejected measurement number ....... Reason .............................................................................................................................. .....................................................................................................................................

[1] Average velocity at three sites 1 upstream site 2 downstream 3 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 average velocity (m / sec) Fig. 2.2 (iv) To what extent is the conclusion to Hypothesis 1: River velocity increases between sites downstream true?
