Geography predictions?

lizzmurph

The course is so long and I've no idea if there's topics I could risk skipping, had anyone any ideas?

My teacher told me to focus on these questions:
Plate Tectonics
Rocks Sed/Ign/Meta
Rivers - Everything about it
Tara Mines
3 Gorges Dam
BMW - Primary/Secondary/Tertiary and Physical
Gda - Primary/Secondary/Tertiary and Physical
Paris Basin/Mezzogiorno Primary/Secondary/Tertiary and Physical
Cultural - Gaeltacht/Belgium
Climate - Cool Temperate Oceanic - Ireland
Brazil Primary/Secondary/Tertiary/Physical and Population

Really hopes this helps. It's impossible to predict the questions for Geography, but hopefully this'll narrow it down for you!

Formation of coastal deposition/coastal erosion/fluvial erosion.
Impact of colonialism on developing economy ie. brazil and portugal.
Plate tectonics leads to the global distribution of fold mountains/volcanoes.
CAP/CFP.
Human interaction with a river or the rock cycle.
Plant animal adaptation to biome.

I have a good feeling these will come up so im learning em well!

I'm assuming that metamorphic rocks and isostasy won't make an appearance after being up last year.

Primary activities in Ireland is up every year afaik. A cultural region is also fairly likely. The fluvial landform is always a given too.
I'm banking on podzolisation lithification and weathering on soil for geoecology too.

I hope to God characteristics of a Biome,population density and distribution and I have a feeling earthquakes will come up. I'm banking on the short questions and physical!

This isn't prediction related exactly but in the geography mock 'Examine the importance of physical features and/or climate in a Continental/Sub-Continental region' came up.I said how they had an influence on primary activities but I only got half marks. How would I answer this for full marks? Serious cramming right now...

Tertiary activities maybe?

Yeah, maybe. I guess I'll just have to wing it if it comes up

Maybe you should've referred to how the climate and landscape define the region.Eg Brazil defined by tropical clinate aswell as rainforest. Then discuss how it affects primary, secondary and tertiary. That's what I would do but honestly, the question is far too vague for a LC question and if it came up, I'd avoid it like the plague.

Yeah, I'll do that then. I doubt it will come up though, it's not a typical question on a sub-continental region. After the mocks, I'm definitely not doing it

Where is everyone getting the case study on India? I can't find it in either of my geog books and we haven't covered it but I'd like to just to be safe. Anyone have any notes? or am I just missing it in the book!?

India is a continental region, if you didn't do it, you most likely did Brazil or SW USA instead.

Oh right yeah sorry, makes sense now! I did SW USA, phew! Thanks, got worried for a sec there!
