  2. Instructions • There are 10 multiple choice questions all somehow connected to fieldwork. • Answer each question in turn – consulting with other members of the team. • The questions get progressively harder ..…starting off fairly easy but then becoming increasingly hard. • GOOD LUCK!

  3. Question 1 Q: What is the most likely habitat that these students are studying ? a. Coastal sand dunes a. A woodland b. The CBD c. A saltmarsh d. A garden ecosystem www.field-studies-council.org

  4. Question 2 Q: A student has used this simple web-based GIS to show their different fieldwork techniques. What does GIS stand for? a. Geographical Infographic System b. General Inference Spatially c. Geographical Inductive Statistics d. Calculating the total amount of sun d. Geographic Information System www.field-studies-council.org

  5. Question 3 0m 20m Q: Which of the following geographical terms best links these three locations that could be chosen as fieldwork sites? a. Coastal b. Resort c. Honeypot d. Upland www.field-studies-council.org

  6. Question 4 Q: What is the purpose of this item of equipment and how does it work? a. Measures air freshness - estimates through sampler at front of device b. Measures gradient / slope – the tilt is measured and gives a reading in ° c. Estimates distance of objects away – point at object and then ground d. Estimates amount of light – operator points it to sky and land www.field-studies-council.org

  7. Question 5 Q: Four students are asked to describe what the term ‘sampling’ means. Which of their answers is the clearest and most accurate do you think? b. An accepted shortcut to collecting a smaller amount of data that is most representative of an area or group a. Doing an accurate and reliable survey of something or some people within a population c. Surveying using a transect to collect the data that you want to answer a hypothesis d. A single survey design that involves a systematic technique to collect relevant quantitative data www.field-studies-council.org

  8. Question 6 Slower Fieldwork data from a small stream showing changes in how long a float takes to travel 10 m (seconds). This can be used to calculate velocity or speed (distance / time) Site 1 is upstream, Site 8 downstream. Float time (secs) Faster Q Which one of the following statements best describes the data shown? a. No change in stream velocity downstream b. Float time varies between 10 secs and 160 secs c. Negative, moderately strong c. Sites 3-6 show fastest speeds d. No relationship indicated www.field-studies-council.org

  9. Question 7 Q: How is this mobile phone being used to assist in fieldwork? a. Using the in-built GPS to give and accurate 6-figure OS grid reference b. Using the built in light-sensor to measure and record sunlight c. Using the phone to work out the vertical height drop between sites d. Using the movement detector in the phone to obtain a bearing / direction www.field-studies-council.org

  10. 02 03 76 Question 8 Outer zone of CBD Core of CBD 75 1km Q: A geography student is mapping a the area of the CBD, shown in the OS grid square above. Estimate the area of this core of the CBD (ha = hectare).1ha = 1/100km2 or 100m x 100m b. 2 ha a. 1 ha c. ~15 hectares d. ~95 hectares

  11. Question 9 3 1 2 Q: Which of (a), (b), (c) or (d) is the correct combination of figures b. (1) Kite graph, (2) choropleth, (3) flow line map a. (1) Chloropleth, (2) kite diagram, (3) desire line map c. (1) Kite graph, (2) chloropleth, (3) flow line map d. (1) Isoline graph, (2) choropleth, (3) desire line map www.field-studies-council.org

  12. Question 10 Q: You have been taken on a field visit to a coastal Geopark overseas which is in a hot and humid climate. You see these interesting sandstone features. Which is the most probable explanation for its development? a. Fluvial (river) erosion has created sculpted features b. These ‘mushroom’ rocks have been produced by only depositional processes c. Chemical weathering + erosion by sea and wind have created unique shapes c. Differential wind / aeolian weathering has fashioned these sculpted forms www.field-studies-council.org
