Nothing ''definite'', but statistics wise it's about 90% i'd imagine.

You do realise they will ask like Irish Region/Non-Irish Region and Sub Continental Right? You can learn all three for GDA if you want, they wont specify between core or peripheral.

I'm thinking of just doing Global warming, etc. It hasn't come up in a few years but it might be a bit risky gonna read over fair trade and a few others just to be safe.

Just mention that although we are in a recession, foreign countries are attracted to locating in Ireland because we have one of the lowest corporation taxes in Europe at 12.5% and if the gov lower the interest rates then business can borrow more easily and economic activity will increase and we'll have people spending more aswell as businesses spending more! We have a good location because Americans companies that want to enter into a bigger market, i.e. The EU can locate in Ireland were there are in the middle! They have the USA in close proximity on one side and they have access to the EU market on the other side! But the high labour costs in Ireland are hard to compete with countries like Poland where they pay €3 an hour, our VAT is high (21%) compared to the UK (15%)
You could also mention that now since we are in the recession MNC's are more likely to closs down, i.e. Dell who left for Poland. The consequences result in mass unemployment etc. Or the MNC might abuse their power in Ireland and threaten to leave if Ireland dont supply them extra grants and tax concessions to stay etc... you can just waffle on really

would it be ok to leave out a non-irish secondary activity?

Well secondary activities in a sub-continental region is likely to come up this year, so I wouldn't leave out a likely question.

Could you tell me some of that?

Mainly discuss the reasons why industry would be attracted to the region

Take Brazil
Human reasons: Large pop of 185 million, south east is wealthy, government schemes encourage manufacture, tax removed from manufacture of new cars, cars produced to run on ethanol etc.
Physical reasons: fertile soil (food processing), oil/gas reserves off coast of Rio de Janeiro (petrochemical), iron ore and limestone found in Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo (steel production).

Guys I'm stuck on regional... What should I cover in the following: GDA, BMW, Paris Basin, Egypt. Doing primary secondary and tertiary on all if them is loads... Narrow it down please???

someone go on zulunores.com... In geography their are notes on Egypt... Can I use that??? Like that girl/guy did for her leaving!!

**Timbuk2**

I'm doing Primary BMW Mezzo and Subcont
Secondary GDA Paris and Subcont
Tertiary GDA Paris and Subcont

I'm also doing urban growth of Sao Paulo and Paris, culture in Brazil, cultural divide in Belgium

that should more or less cover you for regions. To get maximum coverage you should do the EU and region of industrial decline (Sambre Meuse)

After reading the whole thread, it made me feel better since I've covered most of the material mentioned already. However, it just dawned on me that I don't know what does "sub-continental" mean o-O.

Is it like Brazil? Also, is Brazil the equivalent of India when answering the regional questions?

Compton

For me it's India.

PlayGirl

physical : karst region
formation of waterfall
dist of volcanoes
humans & rock cycle..

regional : primary in west & mez
tertiary in dub & paris
secondary in dub&paris

india : prim, sec & expansion

elective : colonialism,
MNC's
globalisation

geoecology : brown earths (composition & characteristics)


what else should i learn?
kinda just have a general knowledge of them all so which should i study in detail too...

thanks

chaoticmess

@PlayGirl, what headings do you use for the brown earth soils essay..??

(I missed all the soils, desperately trying to learn one of the essays just in case but don't know what headings to use...)

Thank you!!!

I don't *think* that three biome questions will come up, especially not when human interaction has been up the past two years....

zoom!

for Elective:
Colonialism
CAP and CFP
Wyeth
Ford Europe
Corrib gas line

Regional:
Primary: Ireland
Secondary: India
Teritary: mezz
gaeltacht area
EU expansion
India Culture

Physical:
Waterfall
Rock cycle
plate tectonics

Geoecology:
Characteristics of a biome, human interaction with a biome and soil characteristics.

Would that be enough to get me by do you guys think????

JohnBrian

Is the formation of river defintaly coming up or will their be a choice of the 4 landforms:)

Shanotheslayer

Hi guys,

For physical is it wise to know plate tectonics? Basically about Paneja etc?. Can't remember it, but have the essay around somewere.


Can anybody remember what questions wont come up?Or highly unlikely?

chaoticmess

For Plate Tectonics:
Processes of Global Crustal Activity
How plate tectonics has aided our study of volcanoes
How plate tectonics has aided our study of earthquages
Measurement and effect of Earthquakes

They're the main questions that can come up...
I wouldn't JUST do plate tectonics though, it's unlikely two of those questions will come up on a B and C of the same question.
