    How's an SRP determined? All are SRPs equal in points?

    My Geography teacher seems to be dodging the subject like it's unholy.

    An SRP is an significant relevant point. They're usually worth 2 marks, I believe... I think it's given for a point, the reason or explaination for the point and an example. It depends on the question.
    If you're given a thirty mark question, for example, explain the formation of igneous rocks with irish examples..
    You'll get 2 marks each for the two irish examples, that leaves 26 marks, which means you need 13 SRPs
    I would then put 6/7 marks on intrusive and extrusive each.
    2 SRPs might be how intrusive is formed and an example, granite in sugar loaf mountains wicklow.
    You will get 1 SRP for a suitable diagram of each formation , i think.
    Then another 2 SRPs for granite; colour, crystals, uses ect ect

    Hope this helps, I'm not a teacher, but anyway, good luck! :)
