Section A – Hot Deserts and Extreme Environments generally
Answer all questions.

Study Figs 1A to 1C. Fig. 1B is in the Insert.

Mingulay is an uninhabited island off the north west coast of Scotland. The last residents left in 1912 when they found that they were unable to make a living in the harsh conditions. The ruined village is slowly being engulfed by the advancing sand dunes.
The bay, from which the sands are blowing, provides the only landing place. It is sheltered enough in calm weather but provides no protection when the wind is from the east. The gentle eastern slopes of the island are in marked contrast to the dramatic cliffs to the west – black, jagged and battered by some of the worst storms in Scotland.
The National Trust for Scotland has owned the island since 2000. It is currently used for grazing sheep and the cliffs have become very popular with rock climbers. It is well known for its seabirds, including puffins, kittiwakes, and razorbills. They nest in the cliffs, which are amongst the highest in the British Isles.

(a) Which one of the following best describes the location of hot desert areas?
Underline the answer which you choose.

In the centre of land masses close to the Equator.
In coastal areas in continents south of the Equator.
On and around the tropics on the western sides of large land masses.
In tropical countries close to warm ocean currents.
[1]
(b) Study Figs 2A and 2B, poems written about hot deserts.

POEM A
I decide to take a walk across the desert
As it seems so welcoming
With the sand dunes all around
The sand seems to flow like a river,
My feet sink into the sand,
Leaving big footprints,
But when I turn back I see no foot prints in the sand
For it‛s gone with the wind.
I see nomads approaching,
I stand by to watch them
When they see me they give me a smile
Their camels are laden with goods to be traded
Across the borders that join the deserts and the cities.

Fig. 2A

POEM B
Skin falls victim to the desert‛s curses thirst is like a lover in a cell camels plod along like heavy hearses where in all this wasteland is the well?
Star maps fail and leave us there to ponder nights of ice come mocking with their frost cut the camels free and let them wander tracks and sand are one – and we are lost.
Blisters on our hands and on our faces
Sun God takes offence and shows his ire wander in a circle – no oasis roasted by the never-ending fire.

(a) Study Fig. 4.

June 28
We woke up to light rain and sleet, though the weather was improving. As we set off we were impressed by the size of the place and by the difficulty of the terrain. We sank in above our knees in the soft snow. The snow was very wet and walking was hard. By afternoon the clouds had gone and the sky was blue. Snow melt caused by the sun brought avalanches and rock falls.
June 29
In the morning we set off up the glacier with the aim of getting as far as the next glacier.
Walking was easier because much of the glacier was dry although our route was crossed by streams, which slowed us down.

He brings liberation to others, and this is the true meaning to his own life. First, Nurse Ratched’s manipulation and subtle cruelty mirrors discrimination of the era. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the chief Bromden and the patients who are there are essentially being "segregated" from the rest of society because they are different. This segregation from the normal life can compare to the struggle with racism, discrimination, and segregation between whites and African Americans in post-World War II era. In the book, the patients are not treated as normal people, and they do not have freedom. For...

Assess the Concept of God

...I believe that the concept of God is illogical. As God is the Supreme Being, he has a quantity of divine attributes such as: omniscience, omnipotence, Omni-benevolence, supreme goodness, eternal, self-sufficient, perfect, and everlasting, transcendence and immanence. In this essay, I will be looking at God's omnipotence, through the Stone Paradox, his omniscience, through the Free Will Paradox and Gods 'omniscience and immutability' and showing how they are not comprehensible. Firstly, The Paradox of the Stone tests God's omnipotence. The dilemma is that either God can create a stone which He cannot lift, or He cannot create a stone which He cannot lift. If God can create a stone which He cannot lift, then He is not omnipotent (as He cannot lift the Stone). If God cannot create a stone which He cannot lift, then He is not omnipotent (since He cannot create the stone). Consequently, either way God is not omnipotent as there is something He cannot do. The first objection to the Stone Paradox is from George Mavrodes. He argues that the paradox is logically impossible. The claim that someone, x, can make something too heavy for x to lift is not generally self-contradictory. However, it becomes self-contradictory when x is omnipotent. An omnipotent being that cannot lift a stone is logically impossible because it is self-contradictory and describes nothing. Hence, there is no possible power for an omnipotent being to create a stone they cannot lift. So if God is omnipotent, and...

...Ethics: Let’s Make a Fourth Quarter Deal The Meeting G: Jason, I have such awesome news for you, I’m so glad you’re here. Betsy said that you are going out of town and I was wondering you know, is he going to be here or not because I have such awesome news. J: Yeah great. G: I have Bestel who is interested in investing 4 million dollars in this company, immediately. All we have to do is sign a few papers and we are done. Now the chairman of the board, do you remember Jack Schneider? Do you remember when he came in? J: I do. G: Ok. So I have known him since I was a kid, he’s almost like an uncle to me. Now he said, basically this is a done deal. Now his shareholders, they don’t get together until 2 weeks after the fourth quarter. But that’s not really a problem because I have talked to him, and worked everything out and done everything that he wanted me to do. J: does he have to get the shareholders to approve the deal? G: Well yeah of course. J: Well how is he going to do that if the quarter ends, he can’t legitimately sign the deal before he gets shareholder approval? G: Ok, well technically I know what you’re saying, but I’m telling you I know this guy. He’s like, like at thanksgiving and when I was growing up we would have picnics together, and he’s given me the OK.

Sororities Research Paper

...opinion on sororities? Do you think that they are treated unfairly? I don’t think so. I know there’s a few stereotypes for certain sororities but those are not made by people that really know anything about them. I know for a fact, some people think that sorority girls are easy to get with, sleep with whatever, they’re all bitchy, all they care about is themselves, and they only hang out with their sisters. Those are some of the stereotypes that we have but none of them are true, I’ve been around them for multiple years and I know plenty of them and enough of them to know that those aren’t true and it’s not fair for them to have people think about them like that. What are some stereotypes that you’ve heard about fraternity guys and sorority girls? I mean I did just touch on sorority girls, people say that they’re bitchy, they’re easy to sleep with, all they do is hang out with all their sisters, and they don’t care about anyone else or support anyone else and obviously none of...

Imagery Poem

...I am a brick wall. I am basketball , football, and a set of uneven bars. I am beautiful. I am love. I am power. I am strong. I am spontaneous. I am humble I am hope. I am a living breathing organism. I do not know why people seem to take my kindness for weakness. I do not know why I tend to put up a wall towards my parents when it comes to certain things. I do not know why I get angry by little things. I do not know why I stay up late and then complain about being tired in the morning. I do not know why people have good people in their lives and push them away. I do not know why people ask my stupid question that they already know the answer to I do not know why the person that murder my cousin don't turn them selves in. I do not know why I procrastinate with some things that I know I can do right away. I do not know why I am such a picky eater. I do not know why when people come into my room when I'm sleeping, leave the light on and don't close the door back when they are done what they was doing in my room. I am not a quieter. I am not selfish. I am not greedy. I am not mean. I am not over confident. I am not rude. I am not self centered. I am not arrogant. I am not dishonest. I am not unreliable. I wonder why I am such a loyal person. I wonder why I still believe I can dunk an I am only 5'5. I wonder why I call so many people a “friend.” I wonder why I let people in so easily. I wonder why I seem to always give people three and four chances. I wonder why it seem like bad things...

The Problems That Caused I Stress: My Study In College

...The situation that caused I stress most often is my study in college. I’m from Vietnam, and I have been here for two years. I speak Vietnamese, and I’m not very good at English. Everyday in college, I always try my best to learn English and the new knowledge in different classes from my teachers and friends. Language now is my most troubling hurdle that I need to overcome. There are too many new words, slangs and idioms that I do not know; therefore, I sometime do not understand what my teachers is teaching and what they want me to do for homework. It also takes me more time to read books and do my homework because of lack of vocabulary. I often feel stress when I confuse the lessons and when I don’t know how to do my homework. I usually have headache. Sometimes, I feel exhausted or sick when overworking. The situation that caused I stress most often is my study in college.
