    I did glaciation.

    Described hanging valleys and waterfalls, u shaped valleys and cirques. Named examples and the types or erosion/deposition.
    For part B i talk about how the extra water will cause sea level to rise and submerging lots of land. Also when glaciers melt they drop their load, ie boulders etc, this creates more drumlins and boulder clay helps to fertilise the land.

    History settlement was to talk about the castles and ringforts and graves( gravyard, standing stones) The question asked for historic "settlement" being the key word. Castles and ringforts should have been your main focus also talking about churches. Contrare to popular thought times are not relevant.

    Part see wa nucleated and linear or dispersed. There was lots of linear (settlement on roads) and nucleated in the north (estates)

    All in all an easy paper. I know wasters who are going to get a good grade in that peper.

    I don't do Geography, so I have no idea. But I do know that sometimes it's better just to put the paper behind you and concentrate on doing as well as you can in whatever ones you've got left - you can't do anything about it now, so forget it until 17th August

    I made a mess of it too.


    By the way, did neolithic people make ring forts or was that only the celts? Haha.

    I'm not sure. I didn't do the glaciers question.

    I did the same as you for the history of transport.

    And I had the same concerns about the map question. I too was not sure what period barrows are from. I misused ringforts instead. The periods I described were Neolithic, Celtic and Early Christian. I didn't mention a date for the early christian one, I just rambled on about the features.

    I need clarification on the photo part b

    Traffic management is likely to be a priority for ...
    discuss validity of this statement

    I talked about how they alleviate the traffic congestion - yellow lines, roundabouts, etc...


    BUT i've heard that this is wrong. The answer is why traffic builds up i,e narrow streets, one bridging point.

    Which answer is correct?
