    If I learn all these essays, will it be enough for a high grade in geography? Also, are there any that I could leave out, and any that I should do?

    • Plate tectonics and volcanoes
    • Plate tectonics, destructive ad constructive plate boundaries
    • Plate tectonics + earthquakes
    • Measurements and effects of earthquakes
    • Pos. and neg. impacts of volcanoes
    • Limestone and limestone pavement
    • Waterfalls
    • Levees
    • Isostacy
    • Metamorphic rocks
    • India: Primary, secondary and tertiary
    • Paris basin: Agriculture and manufacturing
    • GDA: Secondary and tertiary
    • Contrast of agriculture in GDA and West
    • Contrast of manufacturing in GdA and west
    • Primary and secondary in Mezzogiorno
    • Human interactions on rock cycle-geothermal
    • Evidence of historical settlements on OS map
    • Growth of LA
    • Growth of Paris
    • Growth of Dublin
    • Causes of overpopulation
    • Impact of EU expansion on Ireland
    • Patterns of rural settlement
    • 3 reasons why a town developed(OS Map)
    • Burgess model

    Thanks a million! Also, one last thing. Is it better to write the 30mark questions in bullets, or just essay style?

    Looks pretty good to me :)

    Defo do essay, bullet points are only for if you run out of time

    Well for me, I always do bullet points. Never do an essay apart from the option. Every bullet point should be a distinct SRP. If you do the essay style, the examiner could easily miss an SRP, so bullet points are much better IMO. For example, in my Christmas exam I wrote everything in essay style and didn't get full marks, but in my mock I didn't lose 1 mark in any section apart from the option!

    Looking back on this I'd say you'll be okay with just these for physical. Also do Sedimentary rocks, you kind of have that with Limestone. They could ask for 2 types of rock (Metamorphic and Sedimentary). Don't bother with Volcanoes.
