Section A: The challenge of natural hazards
Question
- A. Increased agricultural yield
- B. Infrastructure damage
- C. Improved air quality
- D. Enhanced biodiversity
Answer
The correct answer is Infrastructure damage.
Explanation
The correct option is Infrastructure damage. Infrastructure damage is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to describe types of weather hazard experienced in the UK. This belongs to Weather hazards within Section A: The challenge of natural hazards, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Weather hazards, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Confusing Weather Hazards
Students often confuse different types of weather hazards experienced in the UK, such as floods, storms, and heatwaves, and fail to accurately describe their characteristics.
To fix this, students should create a table or chart that outlines each type of weather hazard, including its causes, effects, and examples, to clearly differentiate between them.
