    ailwee cave, the burren to be exact.

    to be honest id say so? obviously an underground feature is underground and not on the surface of the burren itself so i guess theyd leave ya off??

    I talked about how limestone gets eroded blah blah blah and den about the formation of a cave and the stalactites and stalagmites in a cave?? That okay ...

    Don't worry you'll be fine. I was in the Ailwee caves and I can confirm there are pillars. Even if there weren't you would still be fine!

    I did the Burren and the formation of stalactites, stalagmites and pillars which are all the same thing.

    You realise were not talking about the metamorphic question dont you? .. I taked about slactites etc in my answer and used the Ailwee Caves as an example so think i should be okay...hopefully :P

    There's only like 4 marks going for the example.

    If you wrote in the wrong County or what have you, you'd only lose about 4 marks out of 30.

    Wasn't sure what to do for this question myself.

    I went on about how limestone is forumed(get 0 for that I think) > then how carbonation shape it > underground landform, I said cave xD (probably 0 as well), did mention stalagmites, stalactites and pillars witht he example Aillwee Cave, Co. Clare. (4 marks woot)
