Question

Examine the relationship between environmental change and human migrations.

Markscheme

Environmental changes (may be either positive or negative) include changes related to:

Population migrations include:

Environmental changes (and their impacts) may lead to population migrations, eg soil degradation leading to out-migration.

Population migrations may lead to environmental changes, eg habitat destruction in and around refugee camps.

Answers that do not address environmental change at all and instead write about political, social and economic causes and consequences of migration should to be limited to band C and below.

At band D expect descriptions of environmental change and population migration, with few links.

At band E expect either a more detailed explanation of environmental changes and population migrations (with one-directional connections), or may examine how many connections are two-way or complex.

At band F expect both.

Marks should be allocated according to the markbands.
