Leaving Cert Regional Geography

hup123

hey, just wondering in regional geography for ireland or the paris basin/mezzogiorno can they ask you to do a contrast of an activity in the regions? say 'contrast primary economic activities in a core and peripheral European region?' or could they be specific and ask for example 'secondary economic activites in a core region?' 'in a peripheral region?' Cheers!

Pretty sure they don't ask you to contrast any regions. They could be specific and ask us to write about a certain activity (I think it was secondary last year) but they would say in either an Irish region, European region or Sub Continental. They wouldn't usually ask just for a core or peripheral though.

Hmm it's actually a very good question. If they couldn't be specific, then why would you need to study both a Core and Periphery, when one in detail would suffice?

As the new course has only been examined 4 times, I would know both as we don't have enough years to say "This has never come up, so it probably won't".

As a side note, isostatic processes came up last year, but was poorly answered, and poorly answered questions tend to repeat themselves. I would know isostasy going into the exam.
