Comprehensive responses • Demonstrated clear understanding of the process of interception, both in the impact on speed of water reaching the soil and the parts of the tree where interception occurs. • Some candidates also linked the increase in tree numbers to an increase in interception. Limited responses • Some candidates confused interception with infiltration in the water cycle and gave an in...

Comprehensive responses • Candidates were able to identify a clear similarity within the processes of through-flow and ground water flow and state a key difference. Limited responses • A significant level of uncertainty about the differences between through-flow and ground water flow was seen, with candidates often erroneously identifying one as occurring above ground.
