They also had examine two landforms for a 30 mark question . I'd have thought it'd be too long to write about the two. The regional samples were terrible. I started to think earlier maybe they're questions which are set to appear in the future. I remember last years was kind of similar to the sample with the isostatic processes question.

there's this geo sample essay book I have that was printed in 2007 "shortcuts to success - Geo". I don't use it cos' it's a load of ****e but the essays in it answer everything in the sample papers and 2006 papers.
Again, they wouldn't of known really what would come up in the following years so the questions are really hard
They have that question answering the 2 Irish landforms and in it you just write about waterfalls and meander, both are very short though.

Spot on. Do climates and soils for plants, then climates and soils for Animals

Thanks Astro but i meant that my headings would be

• Plant adaptions to soil and climate
• Animal Adaptaions to soil and Climate
• Climate/Soil of the Biome (Same as Characteristics)

I not really sure how to split up the plant and animal adaptions. Would i be better just to do 2 headings or just to do one big long essay without any heading? Thanks again for the help!

For anyone doing geocology and not sure exactly what to do, just do:

Characteristics of biome/Climate influence biome/Plant and animal adaptations

---

Those 3 are all the same and you can learn one essay amd rework it to fit one of them.

AND

Human activities on biome

Learn them 2 essays, and you'll be grand, trust me.

80 marks is a lot to lose if no biome questions come up.

I thought a biome HAS to come up? Thought it was either biome OR soils you choose to learn ?

Mysteriouschic

What do you reckon will be up for the human section?

treely

A biome has come up every year since the new course started, sometimes two. It seems to be going in a pattern, and we are due to get two soils and a biome question. There would be uproar if a biome didnt come up.

But, if you dont want to take any chances whatsoever(its not even that much of a risk), I'd recommend looking over human activities on soils. Its quite easy, and a human activity has always come up.

So if you were feeling really brave, you could do human activities on biomes and on soils. You'll most likely get one of the two, maybe even both!

there was a thread a while back where someone hadnt done any geography study and they broke the course down to about 20 questions .does anyone know where that is...or is there anyone who wants to break the course down for me?ha

In the geoecology section, there's 3 questions, 2 will be soils and the other a biome, or vice versa

Also the rock cycle,earthquake/volcano prediction and the CFP are tipped to come up as parts of long questions this year

Thanks, I never done that at all I think I'll be alright, I have enough learned off.

I've nearly 2 geo ecology learned off, another one, hopefully two before Friday. I want to do a bit on Elective too.

I also have so much english. I don't know how I'm gonna find the time, I thought I was doing really well

After this week the rest will be a walk in the park :P

treely

I have all of human still to learn off, and my biome questions:(

Quick question regarding our mother of divine knowledge Sue Honan;

If we copy the essays straight from the book, word for word... does that count as plagiarism, and will it be brought up on if found out? Probably a silly question but it's been at the back of my head all day!

Mysteriouschic

I really hope a question on immigration/emigration comes up.
Population distribution and settlements.

No it won't, don't worry about that.

Is the answer for Urban Sprawl the same as an answer on Urban Growth?

Just a few questions:

In my mock, it had a question saying: "examine the processes which have shaped one Irish landform of your choice". Is that waterfall? Because I did the Burren, and still got full marks

Also, how would you answer "describe the factors that hindered the development of a European peripheral region". Would that just be write everything you know about the Mezzogiorno?
