Read the following answer for the question below. Mark the answer and report SPECIFICALLY how the answer could be improved? “Describe the process of exfoliation” (4) Exfoliation is when layers peel of like a skin of an onion. This is why it is called onion-skin weathering. When a rock is in a desert it gets really hot in the day and really cold at night. This means the rock is always under stress and will eventually fall apart. “Describe the process of exfoliation” (4) Exfoliation is when layers peel of like a skin of an onion.

Answers Mark Scheme The answer needs to identify the three types of weathering, in this case biological weathering, freeze thaw and either solution/carbonation. The answer should focus on these types of weathering. Biological weathering is the action of plants and animals. The plant/animal can either grow or borrow through fractures or layers in the rock, breaking down the rock. Freeze thaw with the temperature changes and the continuous cycle of water freezing and thawing in cracks. Finally solution/carbonation with the action of water dissolving rock/minerals in rock. Level 1: Basic (1-2) simple statements, only deals with one of the types of weathering e.g. freeze thaw freezes water and breaks the rock Level 2: Clear (3-4) developed points, deals with at least two of the types of weathering (max 3 points if two types) e.g. Freeze thaw is when water freezes in cracks of rocks and expands by 7% putting stress and pressure on rocks.

Water gets into cracks in rocks and when temperatures fall overnight it freezes and expands by 7%. This puts pressure on the rock and cause stress. In the day temperatures rise and the water thaws, releasing the pressure. This cycle continues and eventually the rock will fracture and pieces will fall away.

Answers Mark Scheme Focus of the answer is on the difference between chalk and clay in terms of drainage and the relative positions. The chalk is a porus rock, because the pore spaces are connected, so lets water flow through it. This means streams flow through the chalk. Clay is impermeable meaning water can’t flow through it, because the pore spaces are not connected. At the point where the chalk and clay meet, the stream emerge at the surface. This point is called the spring line. Level 1: Basic (1-2) Simple statements, no sequence e.g. chalk lets water flow through, clay doesn’t let water flow through etc... Level 2: Clear (3-4) Developed points, sequence is clear, links description and explanation e.g. see above!

The rocks underneath London form a basin called a syncline (dip) Water soaks into the chalk where it exposed on either side of London (Chilterns) and percolates through to form a giant underground reservoir on top of the impermeable clay. This has provided London’s water supply for hundreds of years and is carefully managed to ensure that it is used sustainably.

Advantages for Farming The chalk escarpment is perfect for sheep farming due to the poor pasture being suitable for sheep Clay vales retain water, are flat and fertile. Ideal for Arable farming (cereal crops) and diary farming Advantages for Farming The chalk escarpment is perfect for sheep farming due to the poor pasture being suitable for sheep Clay vales retain water, are flat and fertile.

South Downs has several types of farming. On the clay vales there is extensive arable farming with cereal crops and diary farming. On the chalk escarpments there is sheep farming on the poorer pasture land. The quality of Clay being impermeable and chalk porous means they create aquifers.

Brings government investment into the area to provide good road links for quarry transport to use.

Noise from quarry operations can disturb local people during blasting. The visual impact of the quarry can be an issue for some local people. Noise from quarry operations can disturb local people during blasting. The visual impact of the quarry can be an issue for some local people.

Noise from blasting will cause disruption to wildlife and local people (also a social impact). There will be negative impact on the visual beauty of the area as the quarry is impossible to screen off due to its size.

There will be negative impact on the visual beauty of the area as the quarry is impossible to screen off due to its size.

Huge amounts of energy are required to produce cement from limestone, this has a huge carbon footprint.

Landscaping & tree planting have reduced visual impact of quarry. 2003, planted 7,000 trees to offset carbon emissions. £15mil spent on improved transport – rail used to reduce heavy traffic. 1 train = 57 lorries. Efforts have been made to reduce dust. One old quarry is now managed as a wetland reserve.
