    Hey guys,

    I'm looking over my papers and I've come across some questions that I'd like some clarification on.

    2007 Q1 - Part C (Physical Geography Section)

    Weathering :
    With reference to the Irish landscape, examine how the processes of weathering have influenced the developement of any one limestone feature. 30marks

    Could you write about the formation of a Corrie/Cirque ?
    Using the Devils Punchbowl, Co.Wicklow as an example ?

    2007 Q2 - Part B (Physical Geography Section)

    Landform Developement:
    With the aid of a labelled diagram, examine the processes that have led to the formation of any one Irish Landform of your choice.

    Could I discuss the formation of a Waterfall ?
    Using Glencar Lough, Co.Leitrim as an example ?

    Not sure if this is correct way to answer. All advice is welcomed :)

    Also one final thing...

    Do you have to learn RIVERS, COASTS, ICE in detail or just one section in detail to answer the long questions ... ?

    Thanks!

    Is glacial action a form of weathering?I'd just do a limestone cave and the features found within.

    I'd do clints and grikes for the weathering.
    Yep, you can write about any landform if it doesn't specify.
    You need to learn it ALL :p

    Nope.....
    Q1 - Any limestone feature - limestone pavement, swallow holes, karrens, uvalas, dolines, poljes, turloughs, stalactites, stalagmites, pillar.
    Q2 - It doesn't specify fluvial, could be volcanic/plutonic (Leinster Batholith), coastal (Sand spit) or glacial (Cirque).
