Section A: The challenge of natural hazards
Question
- A. By increasing water usage for agriculture
- B. By ensuring water availability during droughts
- C. By promoting deforestation
- D. By reducing rainfall
Answer
The correct answer is By ensuring water availability during droughts.
Explanation
The correct option is By ensuring water availability during droughts. By ensuring water availability during droughts is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain adaptation strategies including changing agricultural systems, managing water supply and reducing risk from rising sea levels. This belongs to Climate change 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 Climate change, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Adaptation Strategies
Students often confuse adaptation strategies with mitigation strategies, thinking they are the same.
Focus on understanding that adaptation strategies are about adjusting to the effects of climate change, such as changing agricultural systems and managing water supply, while mitigation strategies aim to reduce the causes of climate change.
