    Does that mean glaciation will also come up? Ya'll seemed to have done the sea, but we covered Glaciation?

    Try some exam questions: http://www.examinations.ie/
    Look at Light and Heavy Industries, Population, Weather etc

    Yeah it always seems to be a sea or glaciation question, teachers must be allowed pick themselves which one they want to teach!:) (I'd check exam papers to be postive but I'm pretty sure)

    It's sea or glaciation definitely. It says so in our book, that you choose to do one or the other.

    My teacher said an Oxbow Lake covers river deposition and erosion. Can anyone confirm this?

    Looking at the syllabus, it says:
    v)
    Solid rock and loose materials in the crust are subject to attack by mobile
    agents which cause erosion, transport and deposition. Important among these
    agents are: running water, moving ice and the sea
    (Select for study running water and either of the other agents at (V) above

    So it looks like everyone has to cover rivers, but that there will be an option to do glaciation or marine erosion, transport and deposition.

    i was pretty sure its just deposit because it seals off the little twist and also erosion cause the meander erodes in making it join together but deposition is the main one, says so in our geography book

    But they can't be used for both questions, should an example of one or the other come up. You have to say ox-bow lake for one, and pick something else for the other.

    I doubt it will come up as a long question. No one really gets it. And if it does come up as a short question, I bet it would be something like which is the correct statement or a matching question
