    I'm a bit confussed on Core Unit 2(fluvial, glacial, coastal processes)
    It says in the syllabus that you are "required to study all surface processes but then focus in detail on one of them"

    does this mean

    A) Study all fluvial, glacial and coastal processes and then focus in detail on, for example, fluvial processes

    or does it mean:

    B) Study all fluvial, glacial and coastal processes and then focus in detail on one process from each chapter e.g. waterfall, caves

    It means A, of fluvial coastal and glacial, study one in detail. We're doing fluvial too, as it happens

    Yeah!

    Of course, you'll still have to have a good knowledge of the other two. It's kind of a thin line between having 2 parts learned and the other done in detail, so in my opinion the best bet would be to pick one or two features of the lesser two and know them inside out in addition to fluvial

    One process from each chapter? You need to be able to explain all processes from fluvial, glacial and coastal processes in case they ask them in the short questions.

    You need to know the formation of one irish landform, but I have the ****ing feeling they are going to change this to erosion or deposition so Im making sure I know 2. erosion = waterfall deposition = ox bow lake. However with the deposition there is not as much you can say compared to erosion sp this will restrict the amount of srps you can write.

    A, you study them all for the short q's and focus on one for a long q
