    I have two essays here on causes of overpop. One is cause and effect from Sue Honans book, the other is just causes from I dont know where. If it asked for causes of overpop, could I just do the Sue one? I dont really want to have to learn two essays:(


  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭treely


    Ok, I'm really stuck here. What human essays is everyone doing? I badly need help!

    It could ask for causeS and EffectS in exampleS you have studied, you would need more than one

    Do you think what ive covered will suffice to get me an A1/A2 or is there anything ive yet to learn. Everything ive listed i know off to a tee. Any help appreciated Thanks!


  • Registered Users Posts: 923 ✭✭✭biohaiid


    I dont think you need half of that physcial!
    You only need to know one in detail really, eg - rivers, and the rest just enough to cover As and short Qs.
    Oh and maybe a soils essay?
    Could put 3 soils up . . my teacher is just waiting for it to happen!


  • Registered Users Posts: 983 ✭✭✭CiaranK


    Looks like a great list.

    I would agree to look over one soils essay just to be safe, The Human interaction one isn't too bad

    Also I'd say just scan over the Settlement Patterns (Linear, Clustered & Dispersed), And 'Why a town developed' and 'Historical Setllement' the last two are not really essays that can be learned off because it depends on the map. But the marks are handy enough. State i.e. Nodal point, Give a grid ref, and then explain in 3/4 srps.

    Then it looks like you're on your way to getting the A!

  • Registered Users Posts: 442 ✭✭Incompetent


    Well after that c0ck up I'm just going to do the polar opposite of what you all recommend! :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 442 ✭✭Incompetent


    Actually guys, for interaction with river, can you solely talk about the yangtze and three gorge dam? That's all our teacher said to do, but Honan has extra stuff

    Looking through my answers there, for things like waterfall I say Process:Hydraulic action, Abrasion, Solution. If i gave a little explanation of each of them would they count as SRPs :D?
