Turn over 11 3 (a) Study Figure 3 in the Resource Booklet. The student collected data about the different clast (sediment) size in the Upper layer and Middle layer of glacial till deposits at Aberogwen, North Wales, as part of an investigation about glacial deposition. (i) Complete Figure 3a below by adding the following data for the Upper layer. (1) Clast Size (cm) Number recorded 5.1–7.5 cm 11 15.1–17.5 cm 20 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Number recorded 0–2.5 2.6–5.0 5.1–7.5 7.6–10.0 10.1–12.5 12.6–15.0 15.1–17.5 17.6–20.0 20.1+ Clast Size (cm) Upper layer Middle layer Figure 3a 12 (ii) The student decided to use a stratified sampling approach to collect their data.
