    Oh I assumed that's the question you were talking about...

    Didn't see a biome question because I wasn't really looking for one.

    Sorry :o

    Naw it's cool - I was planning on doing a soil q all along. Biome ones are too dodgy after this many years of steady same-question madness.

    A Desert is a Biome.

    "18. Assess how biomes have been altered by human activity."
    If you talk about over cropping/over grazing...... you wont get marks will ya? Over cropping/ over grazing is human interference right?

    No, work out what 70% in the written exam is as 80% overall, that's what you'd get.. How are you reasoning that missing 30% anywhere gets you 90%? :p By your logic a perfect paper would get 120%

    A hot desert to be really nitpicky as there are cold deserts, too. If you did the biome question and referred to it you need to refer to it as a hot desert biome afaik.

    I dont think so. A desert in general is hot in day and cold at night as theres no cloud cover?...

    Anyway Anyone who did Q17 or 18 will you answer my Q and add in what you wrote about?

    There are no "attempt" marks just like marks for what you've done SRP-wise.

    I did Q 18 and wrote about deforestation, development of permanent settlements, agriculture and industrial development.

    That's exactly how it's laid out in my book under the heading ''Humans alter biomes'' :)


    And yeah you're right about the desert - hot during day, cold at night, but generally deserts such as the Sahara are called hot desert biomes, because deserts are also found in Antarctica. I doubt they'd be too strict over whether you called it a desert biome or a hot desert biome though.

    i doubt its a fail, the short, part A's and attempts at part Bs, along with the fieldwork is enough to pass! but at the same time 80m is a good chunk..

    That would be fine I'd say but you'd want to have tied in how those developments and settlements alter the biome, what was changed by those processes and events occurring?

    That'd be sound then I'd say, I did mining. But to be honest if you mentioned how the extracted rock is used in building etc you're grand, don't stress.

    My my wasn't I a lucky thing! I only started studying late last night. I could do one question from each section pretty well so all was ok! I got 5 pages written on my biome(pours out of ya under pressure). I found the short qs pretty hard in places though, that photo was almost vertical and I said they were facing NW :(
    I did the q on plate tectonics but wasn't sure what they were looking for, I wrote like 3 or 4 pages on continental drift and sea floor spreading theories and then went on about the different types of plate boundaries and examples etc, could've gone on forever tbh, such a rambly topic.
    My regional wasn't great I did secondary activites in an irish region(1 and a half pages I think) and development of Paris(didn't know if this was relevant either, just rambled on for about 2-3 pages). Map was grand but I had to put the Savanna region as my other physical feature, is that ok? :confused:
    Human environment q was a joke as always. Did it in 10 minutes and went on about the docklands in Cork because I know nothing else about land uses in urban areas. I can't even remember the other question now!
    Overall I think I got a B2/3(probably 3). Pretty pleased. :)
