Give one example of an industry you studied, and explain it in detail? (I'm not sure if that's a legit question xD)

Give two results of overpopulation or rapid population growth in a city you have studied?

The City I have studied that has had negative impacts on the city because of rapid population growth is a developed city named Hong Kong.

Some of the results of the rapid population growth of Hong Kong are outlined below...

1. Overcrowding
Hong Kong's rapid population growth has led to overcrowding, many people live in huge skyscrapers that can be up to 100 stories high, this is because land is so scarce. Some people live in boats in the harbour. Land is becoming very scarce that now, new buildings are built in polders-land reclaimed from the sea. Schools have a two day shift in which teachers and students attend from morning to afternoon and other students attending from afternoon to evening. Graveyards try to satisfy their customers by bunk graveyards in which bodies are buried in a bunk bed style.

2.Lack of Clean Water
Hong Kong is a developed city that that provides clean water for it's inhabitants but people living on the harbour pollute the water by littering. The plastics that are littered in water cause diseases such as hypetaytis and gastroenteritis.

These are the two effects of rapid population growth, in the developed City of Hong Kong.

More please

Can you use meanders as deposition or erosion?

Guys if it gives you an area and asks you why the town developed around the area can you say because of the tourist function? I need 3 I have ecclesiastical function but i dont have the other 2 I suppose the port function would be one as well. what else?
never mind i found it it's defence and the other is port :P i looked at the paper :L

Can a sea cave or sea stop be counted as coastal erosion or no?

Defensive settlement, hence a castle or something to do with defence
Bridgepoint settlement, if it is near a river it can provide water and a method of transport for the first settlers

Hope that helps

Your first point isn't really overcrowding, its more lack of space. Overcrowding is when there is not enough resources to supply the population. Netherlands is a tiny country but has a population of like 19 million but it isn't overcrowdied. You can have a place that has very little people per kilometre and it can be overcrowded if there is not enough food.

Our teacher always told us to be careful of that as many people mix them up but they are 2 different things

okay thanks i'll take that into account, can you ask me more geography questions im so scared for this

Yes, usually i would use Sea Arch because you can add in the caves part as it can be formed from 2 caves meeting. Then just go on and say how its formed using Hydraulic Action, Abrasion, Attrition and Compressed Air(not so important). But yes, a cave is a form of coastal erosion as is a headland, sea arch, sea stack etc

but does coastal not mean it has to do with the coast

Don't be scared, its your Junior Cert and they aren't out to get you. Plus, you will have a choice so just avoid the ones you dont know. At the start read over the paper and choose which 3 long Questions you will do.

(i) Name a rock type and an example of this

(ii) Name and explain 2 uses of rocks

all of them are to do with the coast, the sea erodes all of them to form these features

Damn it's so hard to keep touch with all these damn updating threads, could you not see there was another thread about geography that was made? Anyway for erosion and deposition of sea and river i chose for sea, bay and headland and sand dune. For river i chose V-Shaped Valley and Levee as they are simple and have extra info that is really easy to memorise. Dunno why everyone is going for oxbow lake and waterfall, sure they are longer to explain but that's not the point.

Why wouldn't we do them? You come across as if doing them is a bad idea.

The rock I have chosen is marble. Marble is a metamorphic rock which was a sedimentary rock that changed due to pressure of magma. Marble is a beautiful natural resource which can be used for headstones,kitchen counter tops and even fireplaces.

Rocks have a variety of different functions, two of these functions are for building and another function of rocks are for scenery and studying.

Beautiful stones such as sandstone are used to make beautiful buildings, the GPO in Dublin is made out of sandstone.

Stones lie in beds of strata which may be interesting for tourists visiting the area.

Limestone contains fossil prints of animals that lived many years ago, this may be interesting for historians trying to find out about the past.



Okay I made all of that up so don't laugh XD

I just revised rocks and weathering, so please god they come up.

Who's not getting along? There's no hostilities I can see, so there's no need.
