October 2012 - GCSE Geography 5-a-day
Every GCSE Geography sheet published in October 2012, with answers. Physical processes, human patterns, case-study detail and fieldwork technique.
Every sheet in October 2012
The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.
- 1st October 2012In which mountain range does Nepal lie, making it prone to earthquakes?
- 2nd October 2012Name one piece of evidence, other than ice cores, that scientists use to study past climate.
- 3rd October 2012Name one type of certification scheme that labels timber from sustainably managed forests.
- 4th October 2012A pie chart shows land use split into farmland 60%, woodland 25% and urban 15%. Calculate the angle for the farmland sector.

- 7th October 2012Put these parts of a rainwater-harvesting system in the order water passes through them: storage tank, roof, filter, guttering.
