    There isn't one yet so I decided to create one...
    What do you think will come up? Nervous?

    I'm dreading it...I have been concentrating on english and chemistry(cause it's my worst one) but haven't looked at anything..no regional and no geoecology...so cramming now:(

    I need to cram geography tonight, I'm learning 2 soil essays and 3 biomes I'm not taking any risks after that english prediction fail .
    From half 7 all I will be doing is geography I still need to do maths but I'll do that maybe at like 10pm or something.

    Yeah...I'm learning all my biome essays and all the primary activities and maps...oh and quickly looking over Rhine and Geothermal energy as well...at least one comes up every year...hopefully this will be the case this year as well

    At least I know my waterfall:D

    Shoooooot...just realized there is the elective as well...oh crap...too much...I guess I might have to look over migration as well

    Don't think I'll be doing maths today


  • Registered Users Posts: 641 ✭✭✭kilianmanning


    Does soil always come up? Like can i just learn all the soil essays because i know a few of them already

    Is a limestone pillar an example of a karst feature?

    Would this be enough to get me through human:

    • Migration(Donor and Receiver region)
    • Sketch maps/Aerial maps
    • Problems in a developing city
    • Burgess model
    • Historical settlement on an OS map
    • Patterns of settlement

    Taken from other thread. Any answer please?:D

    Yes. I'm prettu sure it is anyway!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭Looking Glass


    Yep, pillars should do the trick! Doing the limestone pavement myself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 387 ✭✭Isotonic


    Ya limestone pillar will do. Clints and grikes probably easier


  • Registered Users Posts: 378 ✭✭The High Crusade


    My stomach sank seeing this thread, DREADING Geography. :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 11 piperroche


    Here's my predictions:
    Physical:
    Waterfall
    Human interaction along a river
    Rocks, possibly sedimentary
    Karst
    Plate tectonics

    Regional:
    Sketch of european region
    Prim.Sec.Tert European
    Culture defining a region
    EU
    Tertiary in Ireland (hasnt been asked in a long time)

    Elective:
    Chpts 1-5
    Central Place

    Geoecology:
    All, difficult to narrow it done

    WHAT DO YE THINK??????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,073 ✭✭✭David1994


    God Geography is such a pain in the ass :( Ah well hopefully I will get an A2 or an A1...I really need to :/

    Lads I only know plant and animal adaaptations, if I was to learn 1 more what would it be?

    The Soil and climate too of the biome.

    Also, Human interation for a completely diff 80marker. Should do the trick

    I have so much to go over I hope I remember it my last years geography went awful because I crammed last minute except I studied differently then. I need to go over the other half of the elective.

    So if characteristics of a biome came up I could slot in my plants and animals with the soil and climate? Smart idea, never thought of it :L :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 59 ✭✭BellaVerita


    Are the headings
    "Acid rain and deforestation"
    "Impact of acid rain on the vegetation and soil of the coniferous forest biome" and
    "Impact of deforestation on tropical rainforests"
    okay for a question on human influence on biomes??
    They're from the Sue Honan book.. but humans aren't mentioned at all in the answer?


  • Registered Users Posts: 60 ✭✭Iony94


    If u know the climate than you know 2/3 of how plants and animals adapt to biome


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,391 ✭✭✭Mysteriouschic


    I'm going to learn for geoecology
    Human impact on soils
    Human impact on biomes
    How animals and plants adapt to biomes.
    Soil characteristics or processes :S .

    My teacher got pregnant and left us with a sub for a year and a half, didn't get to finish physical at all :/ I'm going to break down and cry.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 241 ✭✭CaoimheCweeva


    Failed geography in the mocks .. haven't studied at all yet ... chances of failing?

    Biomes BETTER come up, and Karst landscape (living in the Burren has it's upsides :D)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 843 ✭✭✭Whatsernamex33


    Okay lads in all seriousness, how do you actually study for geography? :L done it last year and came out with a C1, somehow.. But I haven't an actual clue how to go about studying it and knowing it well :L

    Go outside there pick up a bit of soil for geo ecology, a few rocks for physical, bit of river water and just throw it all on the page. A1 student ;)
