MARKSCHEME May 2001 GEOGRAPHY Higher Level Paper 3 10 pages M01/320/H(3)M INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE BACCALAURÉAT INTERNATIONAL BACHILLERATO INTERNACIONAL Notes on individual questions [2 marks] 1. (a) State the approximate scale of the aerial photograph, and briefly explain how you obtained this figure. Candidates should measure the scale precisely by comparing the size of features on the photograph with the same features on the topographic map, the scale of which is known at 1:25,000, and they will calculate the scale as being between 1:15,000 and 1:17,000 (inclusive) [2 marks]. If candidates correctly describe the procedure for estimating the scale by measurement and calculation, but do not give a scale within the acceptable range, they may be awarded only [1 mark]. If they give the correct scale and do not describe the procedure taken, they may be awarded [1 mark]. [4 marks] (b) Using the map and aerial photograph, describe the purpose and size of the factory at grid reference 529380, and suggest reasons for its location. This factory should be identified as a Butter and Cheese factory [1 mark] . The description of its appearance should include mention of the relatively large size (area) of its several buildings [1 mark]. Reasons for the factory’s location include the following: (i) proximity to the town of Bega (which provides both market and labour force), (ii) proximity to the Bega River as a source of water, (iii) proximity to the main road (for transportation of raw materials inwards and finished products outwards), (iv) proximity to raw materials/milk/dairy produce from surrounding farms and (v) cheaper land on the town’s periphery. Three of the above factors quoted should receive [2 marks], two factors should receive [1 mark] , and one factor or no factors receive [0 marks] . It is not necessary to quote specific examples or data from the map to be awarded the marks for this question. [4 marks]
