Resource overview
This markscheme is listed under Geography in the 2000 examination archive. Its catalogue level is HL. The catalogue session is November. The information below helps you identify the document before opening the complete PDF. Subject, year and session labels come from the archive catalogue; the original cover remains the reference if a label differs. A file is not automatically suitable for your current syllabus simply because its subject name matches.
Use this markscheme alongside its matching question paper. Attempt the questions first, then compare the required reasoning and the available marks. Record the exact step that lost credit rather than only the final answer. Examiner wording can help you distinguish a calculation error from missing explanation, but an older markscheme may use a previous assessment structure.

Notes on individual questions
SECTION A : TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING
Question 1:
[1 mark]
(a) State the direction of flow of the Dunaj River. Give evidence from the
map to support your answer.
The River Dunaj is flowing towards the south east.
No mark should be given unless the answer is backed up with valid map
evidence. Such evidence would be the spot height of 138 on the south bank
of the Dunaj near the most westerly bridge in Bratislava, and a spot height of
133 by a channel of the river in square 0927 (GR 099 273). Six figure grid
references needed in order to gain [1 mark]. The direction in which located
tributaries enter the main river is also acceptable for [1 mark], as long as these
are located or named.
[8 marks]
(b) Draw a labelled sketch map the same size as the photograph to show the
area that appears on both the map and the photograph, to include only
the following: (i) the Dunaj River, (ii) the vineyards, (iii) Bratislava
Airport (Flughafen Bratislava).
Candidates should be awarded marks as follows according to the accuracy of
representation:
[2 marks] for drawing the same area shown on both the map and the photo
[1 mark] for the Dunaj River
[2 marks] for the vineyards
[1 mark] for the airport (not all of which should be shown)
[1 mark] for calculation of the scale
[1 mark] for presentation
[5 marks]
(c) Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the location of Bratislava
Airport.
Possible advantages could include:
! room for expansion into the flat area to the north and north east
! travelling time from all parts of the city will be short
! no major hills nearby – the nearest are some 5 km. away
Possible disadvantages could include:
! close proximity to the city will result in noise and air pollution and risk of
accident
! the communications system is poor - no major road links to the airport and
no direct rail link to the city centre
! potential fog hazard in winter (see preamble); the airport lies in a low flat
area where radiation fog could occur
! the area is low and flat and could be
