The exam paper focuses on physical geography topics, including water and carbon cycles, desertification, coastal systems, and glacial environments. Key themes involve analyzing data on rainfall, hydrographs, and vegetation cover in relation to environmental processes. The paper assesses the impact of human activity on ecosystems, including the effects of changing vegetation on runoff and the role of feedback systems in climate change mitigation. It also covers the processes of weathering, erosion, and coastal management, with questions examining data interpretation, case studies, and critical evaluations of human and natural interactions in different landscapes.
