    Quick question,

    All I have prepared so far is

    Rivers
    and
    GLaciers,

    I know these really well, but do i need to learn the Sea as well?
    How risky would it be to just do those two
    (I do geography as an extra subject myself)

    DO THE SEA- DEFINETLY extremely important, im of the opinion it cld come up this year! :p

    yeah i def wud do the sea but wat 25 mark questions have ye prepared for all i done is:
    - the effect of groyne/jetty construction on an area far from the construction
    is that enough?

    no.
    stuff like coastal mangagement (more generally), rising sea levels, etc..

    3 landforms. i'd go with 1.bays and headlands, 2. wave cut platform, 3. spit.

    the first two are features of erosion, last is a feature of deposition. Remember DEEPD.

    D-description
    E-Example
    E-Explanation
    P-Processes
    D-Diagram

    As regards the part 2... maybe something on coastal management or as we got in the mocks, rising sea levels (i.e isostatic and eustatic..sp? movement)

    Theres always next year for us reds.. Delighted chelsea got knocked out by the pool :D

    To be honest I would say you will be fine without the sea!,
    one of the other two always comes up and its not like they will be mean with their last ever paper from this course, good luck!

    everyone-- coasts is coming up. learn it. im 98.9% sure... just learn em. 3 features (of erosion and deposition) and human interference n that. i did a revision course a few months bk n our teacher was fairly certain. plus.. its the last yr of this course.. so they have to ask it. still learn rivers tho.. ud be mad not to.

    You can't be certain but It's brilliant to have for the O.S. You can use costal information in some of your O.S. map Answers as someone pointed out earlier.

    You really should do the Sea too, its tipped heavily to come up this year
