* Geography predictions / questions *

What's everyone learning for Geography tomorrow?? Serious cramming to be done here

lisabisa

80 mark for sure, its the main thing I have trouble with.

seanh12

Are you doing the Biome one?

lisabisa

Nah, Global Interdependence! I have 2 essays sorted for it, but getting real nervous now neither will come up, aha. So gotta do quick revision of the rest Hate morning exams after evening ones!

Eoin MurMur

With regard to the 80 marker on "Human interaction with soil" can you say deforestation is one for the Sahel region in Africa? Because they certainly cut down trees there and it does lead to problems with soil fertility but I'd hardly call the groups of trees there forests

Anyone else doing Culture and Identity for 80mark?

Cultural Indicators
Cultural Groups vs National Borders I have a feeling this might pop its head up on the paper.
Stuff bout racism and sh*t like that

LMFAOFLOL

It's pretty likely human interaction with biomes will come up. It wasn't on the paper last year so it's promising.

Mysteriouschic

I have to try and learn of three essays in biomes maybe one on soils. An try and go over the rest of the paper. Haven't gone over anything in geography since last week. I have the notes written up on them .

Vodkat

I only took up geography this year and i absolutely hat the subject, Ive actually given up caring about it! I just need to scrape a c2 on higher level. I have a note book with about 20-30 different sample essays. Any ideas on what I should focus my attention to. I have Primary activities in Paris basin, Common regional policy, Limestone landscape, Basalt landscape and manufacturing in India all covered.

LMFAOFLOL

Physical: Human interaction with surface processes, human interaction with the rock cycle, formation of igneous rocks, global distribution of earthquakes, formation of any landform.


Regional: Effects of EU expansion on Ireland, Growth of urban area in Sub-Continental region, Tertiary economic activities in an Irish region, Primary activities in a European region.

Going by pattern :P hope this helps.

martyllia

I've done
physical: plate tectonics,igneous rocks,human interaction with rocks & surface processes,waterfall,ox bow lake,folding and faulting,might look at d stalacites & stalagmites thingy

regional: primary,teritary (mezz & PB),urban growth PB,secondary & teritary BMW & GDA, teritary & secondary & urban growth Brazil

elective: Airbus & Dell MNCs, CAP & CFP, impact of EU on IE,Colonialism,Mayo GAs Conflict

biome:characteristics & human interaction

hope that's enough!

shelly818

Thanks for that

Any ideas for the Electives I'm doing Q 10,11 and 12???

conormccarthy92

lads , anyone have a definiton of a biome ? wanna add it into my biome essay . im planning on have main characteristics of a biome , human interaction with a biome , and overcropping/overgrazing/desertification . that plenty ? thanks

I know sweet eff all Geography so I'm taking this as gospel and gonna CRAM like mad!

Lol you're so dead if they don't come up..

GoldRush4821

Can someone please suggest what might come up tomorrow... its the only section im dreading theres just so much to do... 2 or 3 suggestions would be perfect

fionnsci

Shtory, conor? Strange, we were just talking about boards today!

My definition is "Biomes are climatically and geographically defined as areas with similar physical characteristics such as communities of plants, animals and soil. They are often referred to as ecosystems."

Found it somewhere online.

lukky

1. secondary activities in subcontinental region
2. primary activities in a non irish euopean region
3. tertiary avtivities in irish region.

GoldRush4821

thanks man are you going off patterns?

A biome is a world region characterised by interrelated similarities in vegatation,climate,soil and animal life.

Have Ireland covered as well. Make sure you can draw the maps of all the regions. Have your higher option studyed as well.

Does anyone know if a Biome Q has to come up every year ? is it possible one won't come up and itl be a choice between 3 soil Q's ?

A biome has come up every year so far. Normally its two soils and one biom, in one year though it was 2 biome and one soil

RonyPonyBah

Yea emm our teacher left in the middle of the year and we never finished any of the 3 books and worst of all ! never opened the papers !

Dunno what the F the 16 of us in my class are meant to do tomorrow !

PJelly

This is the only subject where I plan to rely on predictions.
We had no teacher for the first two months, a sub for a week, then no-one for a week, then for the next few months we had the single worst teacher I've ever had in my life. And when he left, he took all my notes. (Had my two copies to correct). We then had another awful sub for a week. No-one for a week. And a great teacher for a month.
So we've done one month of geography this year! Fecked!
I know my Biomes grand, I have a good memory for photos and processes too so my physical is decent. But regional and elective? We didn't even really do the elective in school. I know we're doing the economic one anyway...

So I plead with any enlightened souls out there for regional and elective predictions

CdeP

If formation of an Irish landform comes up (again) does anyone think that they will specify either erosion or deposition this time around rather than giving us a choice?

I'm learning my essay off exam skills bullet pointing it all and putting it into my own words. I have loads of questions to study an learn off and need to practise maths. I have to cram tomorrow at 5am. Need to go over everything still have a quite a few notes to write. I hope pass I failed the mocks , I don't usually fail geography , I had a feeling I did though.

Hoping the questions won't be too hard. I'm guessing the papers only worth 80% with the project so should manage a pass . Aiming for at least a B2.
I'd love for "the adaption of plant and animals in biomes" to come up. I'm glad my geography teacher gave us loads of sample answers. The other class with the other teacher they all handed in the same project word to word and he hasn't even gone over their elective.

fionnsci

There was a question a few years ago, something along the lines of "examinine the development of any economic activity in...." Can this be primary, secondary or tertiary?

GoldRush4821

yea im wondering do people think plant and animal adaptations is likely it hasnt been up since 2006/7 and it was on my pre... id love it!

aranciata

Would it be a bit cheeky to put in a map of the region you're talking about in an economic activites answer and expect a couple SRPs?? Just as a last resort...

Haha same !

What essays have you done? I'm banking on Global Warming +Deforestation + Desertification OR Sustainable use of resources. I Might look over the Theories of development tonight though(Modern and post modern)

ya but im wonderin does the effect of climate on the biome kinda count as that q. seein as plants and animals have to adapt to climate so it would be almost the exact same answer...
climate influence came up last year or the year before lik.
opinions???

166man

In short yes, yes it can!! Would love if that came up...

martyllia

i would love if characteristics of a biome would come up but i have a feeling that human interaction will be the thing.

What have you learned for G.I? I am in desperate need of advice... I have an appalling teacher...:(:(

roisin24

Hey everyone,

For the sake of reassurance can anyone tell me what they'll be writing about if asked:

Examine the main characteristics of a biome you have studied?

Thanks!
Roisin

i'm doing the desert biome : deforestation ,tourism,intensive farming and settlement

brian93

I know there's loads of other geography threads, but this one is special

Can anyone suggest what other questions I should revise, pretty worried about this section

I've learned:

France re-development
Brazil colonialism
Comman agricultural policy
Conflict - the mayo gas pipeline one
Dell moving from ireland to poland

I feel I'm leaving out some. If you could just give me the name of some other questions to look over. Aiming for an A1!

roisin24

Thanks!!!

martyllia

Read through CFP as they can ask you about two policies

Fbjm

PLAN OF ACTION.

1. Answer ALL short questions.

2.Answer long questions I've studied, the surefire ones eg biome etc.

3. Anything unexpected - wing it.

I know roughly the same amount as I did last year, and I got a B last year. Just gotta maintain it
