3 (b) (ii) Figure 3 is an extract from a geographical publication about the Japanese tsunami in March 2011.

Figure 3

The tsunami was concentrated on a limited stretch of coastline around Sendai. Whole settlements on the coast were simply erased in a few moments, as water flowed 10 km inland. Sendai Airport became unusable within minutes, limiting future aid accessibility.

Within 10 days of the earthquake, an estimated 452,000 people were living in evacuation facilities, most of which were inadequate. This led to huge numbers suffering from hypothermia. Often damp from floodwater, people had to cope with the bitter cold with a few blankets if they were lucky. People were scavenging in the streets to try to find food for their families. They took waste food from the supermarkets even though there were health risks from thawed frozen and out of date products.

Japan’s disaster in figures:l 15 676 deaths, 5712 injured and 4832 missingl victims aged 60 or older accounted for 65.2% of the deathsl 45 700 buildings destroyed and 144 300 damagedl around 1.5 million households without water supplies.

Comment on different consequences of coastal flooding identified in Figure 3.

6 Food Supply Issues

6 (a) A survey was conducted outside supermarkets and at farmers’ markets in Oxfordshire in July 2007. In relation to concern about climate change, 400 people were asked how often this influenced their decision to buy local, seasonal, air-freighted or organic produce.

Figure 7 is a graph showing the results of the survey.

6 (b) Figure 8 is an extract from a geographical magazine about local food.

Figure 8

Eat local?

A small number of large companies dominate food sales in the UK and source their product ranges globally. Now, the UK’s major food retailers are taking a growing interest in locally sourced food.

What is ‘local food’?

The term ‘local food’ suggests that it is produced within a narrow geographical area, but in fact there is no agreed definition. Some organisations have tried to define ‘local’ in terms of the distance between producers and consumers. The National Association of Farmers’ Markets, for example, suggests that a producer must be located within a 50 km radius of the market to be classed as local. London Farmers’ Markets states that to be accredited as local, produce must be raised, grown, made, caught or baked within 160 km of the M25.

Wider and more qualitative definitions suggest that ‘local food’ is not just about the geographical distance between producers and consumers, but fulfils a number of conditions to do with environment, animal welfare, employment, fair trading, producer profitability and culture.

Outline the issue(s) about the definition of ‘local’ in Figure 8.[5 marks]

7 (b) Figure 10 is an extract from a geographical magazine about the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, March 2011.

Figure 10

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, 240 km north-east of Tokyo, is one of the 15 largest nuclear power stations in the world. Following the earthquake and tsunami, partial nuclear meltdown and a number of explosions occurred in its three operational boiling water reactors.

The magnitude 9.0 earthquake caused the Fukushima reactors to shut down automatically when their motion sensors felt tremors but the multiple cooling systems required to remove residual heat from the core failed. The station was designed in 1971 and lacked up-to-date technology that might have kept water flowing.

The tsunami that followed the earthquake then knocked out the back-up diesel generators. These were designed as a last measure to keep cool water pumping. The failure of the cooling systems meant that the uranium heat elements over-heated, with disastrous effects. The explosions led to extensive air, ground and water pollution. A 20 km exclusion zone was imposed, resulting in the forced migration of 70 000 people.

Comment on the issue(s) associated with nuclear power raised in Figure 10.
