Adapted from ‘Exploring the Social Impacts of Flood Risk and Flooding in Scotland ‘

 

 

(a)       Use Figure 3 to compare the perception of flood risk between Brechin, Elgin and Scattered Rural and Coastal.                                                                                                                         [7]

 

 

(b)       Describe and justify the methods that could be used to represent the data shown in the diagram. [8]

 

 

(c)        Discuss the validity of the conclusions reached for an investigation into a changing physical environment you have completed.                                                                                                         [10]
