Im really worried about my geoecology question..i answered the one about how climate influences the characteristics of a biome and basically i did the cool temperate biome and had 3 headings which were: climate, vegetation and soils and in the vegetation i mentioned a lot about trees and plants adapting to the climate and all! does ANYONE know if thats in any way ok!? please say yes cos im completely freaking out over this!

That's exactly how you were meant to do it (At least that's how I gathered it)Im really worried about my geoecology question..i answered the one about how climate influences the characteristics of a biome and basically i did the cool temperate biome and had 3 headings which were: climate, vegetation and soils and in the vegetation i mentioned a lot about trees and plants adapting to the climate and all! does ANYONE know if thats in any way ok!? please say yes cos im completely freaking out over this!
To clear things up!
A BIOME IS A MAJOR WORLD REGION WHICH IS DEFINED BY CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS CLIMATE, SOIL, VERGETATION, PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE. ALL OF THESE ASPECTS OF A BIOME ARE INTER-RELATED.
By mentioning the climate you have to mention how the other aspects of it have developed to cater for the climate. Because climate influences soil, which in turn influences plant and animal life etc...0 -

Geography exam was a bit tough compared to the other years.
Just like English, they've realised that the exam has been too predictable over the past few years.
Anyways, I thought the short questions were simple. Although they were long, but simple, I definately got 80/80 in that.
Physical: There wasn't one question where I could do all parts :mad:
I think I did Q1
It was the one with Landform development: waterfalls, that was grand, and the question with the sketch map. Unfortunately I couldn't do the answer on metamhorphic rocks. 30 marks gone down the drain.
Regional Geography was simple. I did the question on the sketch map of Ireland, then tertiary activities in Paris Basin, and then culture question. So thats full 80 marks there :P Oh and for the tertiary question it only asked for 1 (which was a pity), but the answer I had prepared I talked about Tourism and Transport. But because it only asked for 1 of those I choose tourism, but I shoved the majority of my transport section into the tourism and kept saying "this attracts tourists to the Paris Basin, or, this is why tourism has developed in the Paris Basin, because of the TGV, for example". Is it ok to do that?
The human elective had awful questions. I did the question with the bar graph, then migration over the past 100 years, I dragged a page and a half out of that but I think I got over 20 marks in that. And part C was historic settlement on the map. That was grand.
Last but not least, Geoecology: Wasn't a great answer, but I described climate and how it has affected soils and plants, but I went kinda blank on animals, so I didn't get much there.
Was a challenging exam, only major problems was with the physical section and the biome.
And my field study should be getting above 95/100. Everything was perfect in that.
But my I still don't think I got an A in the Geography exam though
Just have to go with a minimum of a B2 hopefully.0 -

Short Q's were simple got 11/12 right which is the 80 marks got the lake one wrong about glaciers one question was like what type of lake is this? so i just put down a very nice lake :P
Physical Q 2 Good Quarrying answer,pretty good fold mts one and full marks on part a
Regional-Full marks on te sketch of ireland
then cultural i just said ''where would be without culture'' and thts it then for d one about teritary i did 2 things both tourism and transport when it asked for one & i did them in poor detail so i got about 30 marks in regional.
Human- Bar graph full marks, in the migration i said the 1950's and i couldnt think of anything else so i went into 1914 about ireland emigrating to england to join the british army for ww2 & went into home rule amd everything ^^ hope i get some marks
Biome-Gotta be at least 70/80 maybe full marks wit 3.5 pages
Project was excellent ( I hope)
Overall im predicting high c or low b due to tht gay regional and human but overall easy paper if u studied0 -
