No it did come up.. Im a repeat student and my grinds teacher said it would be made if ya depended on coras oideachais... Thats just his ideas and relationships on the net came up. I think it is a possibility because its relevant to our age group... Honestly I don't think they'll put up Arab Spring...wouldn't be learning that now... General youth problems and you should be fine.. Like how could you write 3/4 pages on that??

3/4 of a page? aren't they meant to be 2 and 1/2?

Here's a guaranteed prediction:
The LC is starting on June the 6th.

That's great reasoning there on Boland, Rock cycle has come up once and has about 6 lines about it in most books, I doubt it will ever come up as a 30 marker again, and even then it's a stupid thing to try and predict. I christen thee Nostradumbass



No you wouldn't, there is no basis at all to what you just said, the human interaction questions could easily be C parts of two different questions and you appear to have pulled the volcanoes bit out of your arse.

Obviously no prediction will be 100% but you could at least try

Oh well sorry Mr. No it all ! I was only trying to help no need to bite me head off, and I didnt pull the volcanoes out of me arse , It is a likely question but go on Inspire us so what should we Learn for the physical part of Geography ?? Cause there aint that much more to learn for that

I'm pretty sure they usually ask for interactions with the rock cycle.

Oil and Gas exploration is easy enough

For physical you should know the following:

-a formation (waterfall, meander)
-formation of a type of rock and how it causes a landscape (karst)
-river rejuvenation
-plate tectonics and how it causes volcanoes and earthquakes (quakes are more likely though)
-short/long term effect of earthquakes
-interaction with rivers (dams etc)
-interaction with rock cycle

No the person didnt mean 3/4 of a page, they meant 3 or 4 pages. The length is 500-600 words though, so whatever that takes up is what you write. You can write more than 600 too of course.

Would isostasy really be asked two years in a row? I find that topic annoying just because I know a lot about it but I cant compact it the way they want us to :rolleyes: If it said "the impact of isostasy on the landscape" can you talk about anything or do you have to do it like 1. knickpoints 2. paired terraces or something like that?

There is. You can talk about geothermal energy (in Iceland).
I made flip cards for all my 30 markers. Here's what I got for the rock cycle. Put it into sentences and you have enough stuff to write almost two pages (yes, I tried to test myself if I could write a 30 marker in 15 mins, and had almost two pages. Wait, how long am I supposed to spend on a 30 marker?)

Geothermal Energy:

(INTRODUCTION:)
-geothermal energy is energy that occurs naturally in the earth.
-in nature, geothermal energy occurs in the form of volcanoes, geysers, hot springs.
-was used for bathing through out the ages, but many countries (US, Iceland, New Zealand) now use it to generate electricity.

---

(INFO ON ICELAND:)
-iceland is situated on the mid-atlantic ridge, therefore it has many volcanoes for geothermal energy. it's the largest natural resource.
-geothermal energy is used for central heating, warm water (therefore it's inexpensive). 89% of houses use this method of heating.
-gt energy accounts for 26% in the capital, reykjavik, they heat footpaths with gt energy to prevent freezing.

---

(GT ENERGY POWER PLANT/GENERATING GT:)
-wells drilled into reservoirs > water pumped to the surface where its heat is converted to electricity.
-a common type of gt power is the Flash Power Plant.
-hot water pumped into station >steam separated from liquid (water) and pumped into turbine which powers a generator > liquid pumped back into reservoir.

---

(BENEFITS OF GT ENERGY:)
-can heat green houses.
-naturally warm soil is good for horticulture, growing crops (potatoes).
-longer growing seasons.
(therefore primary activities/agriculture is improved)
-has the potential to provide the country with 40% of it's electricity needs.
-tourism: blue lagoon, dettiffos (hot waterfalls) in NE.
-bathing in 40degree baths while surroundings covered in snow.
-450,000 tourists in iceland/year.

So yeah, there is quite a bit to talk about.

Anything else in geography that you need some pointers in, ask. As I said, I have flip cards made out for all these, so typing them up is practice for me.

@theVETERAN, why is the IAA thought to come up? My teacher also predicted it (is really stressing that exp. actually), but it has come up only like two years ago.

would these points suffice for 15 srp's? just wondering thanks

Nitsuj

well that's pretty much the essay summarized into points that my teacher gave us, so it should.

Kill me Now So much to Learn and to think thats only 1 section

Physicals fairly sound! Regional- that's now a right **** of a section.

For Geoecology I just noticed that this question:

Factors that have influenced soil characteristics

Hasn't come up since 2006! Considering getting rid of Characteristics of a Biome and learning that instead! I hardly doubt they'll put on Characteristics of a Biome 2 years in a row!

That means i've done:

-Composition/Characteristics of one soil type
-Plant/Animal Adapations to the Soil/Climate of a Biome
-Human Activities affecting Soil
-Factors that influence Soil Characteristics.

Since I have flipcards made out for all sections, it probably takes me 2-3 hours to learn a section. Easy stuff. If you learn one section from today on (say physical today, regional tomorrow, human the next day, and biomes day after that) you're still making good progress before the exams even begin. Be more positive.

Same goes for anyone who does history. Learn Like 4-5 essays a day from now on and you're golden.

PictureFrame - did your school do stuff past the biome? We only did characteristic, interactions with, and adaptions of a biome.
That would be enough, right?

Did it take you long to make the flip cards for Regional/Human?

I've 2/4 Geoecology essays done out and i'm fairly happy with my Physical so i'd have to do them 2 sections!

AnnaKin

here lhome ec people! i know people were on about eggse coming up but is there really much chance considering protein/vit b came up last year?

Cian_Collins

It seems to be all tips for HL subjects on this there has to be some for OL subjects :O Maths anything at all?
Irish: Sceal and S.A, Pros , Poems ?
English: S.A and Poets?
French: Postcard anyone?

Anyone know anyting?????

Awh yah thats well good so Cheers

Chemistry experiments? Apparently Ethanal is likely to come up, but what about the other two.

And my God Geography, I haven't even started! Planning on doing all of physical today-any pointers would be greatly appreciated !

About 15-20 minutes for essay, but I'm a slow writer/reader. Try to take statistics in as you're making them. Then when you're learning them off, it will all be clicking into place pretty fast.

am i thought the rock cycle was about how igeous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are formed, and how they form each other? I'm so confused now :L like this thing http://www.cotf.edu/ete/images/modules/msese/earthsysflr/EFCycleP2.gif

That is an answer for human interaction with the rock cycle, not just 'the rock cycle'

123 LC

ah yes i get it now :L think i'll do quarrying for the interaction question

Hayezer

Same here :P gah only starting Geography now! Gonna be a loong day

Hayezer

I'm doing a flash card on a waterfall now, just wondering, I named the processes as hydarulic action, abrasion and solution. Is that all I need, or would a little paragraph on what each of them are count as 3 SRPs?

Thanks

My teacher is generally good at predictions and for the experiments he's saying:

Q1 - standard solution of sodium carbonate, water of crystallisation, or B.O.D.
Q3 - volatile liquid

.

What exactly is an SRP though, like would one srp be " there are 450,00 tourists in iceland per year. " ?

Also, Doesn't human interactions with rivvers/sea come up every year ? aswell as the karst landscape?

ive a feeling der will be no light expt in physics dis year
pendulum/co planar forces
sound expt
heat expt
joules law

What are you basing that on?

Also, I ****in' hate the heat experiments. Those formulas are hell to learn.
