    hello any predictions on geography plss :D thnxx

    For Long Questions (sec 2), the following may come up:
    Rivers, Climate and Tourism, Population, Urban Geography, Primary Activities(Fishing and Farming), Secondary Act.(Location, Industry) Tertiary Act.(Tourism and Aid), Poor and Rich World.

    For the map Q, there is a great chance for a sketch map of O.S. map to come up. Aerial Photo came up the last two years.

    There is also a likely chance for a rock question and an acid rain Q.

    Anyway, it's all predictions.


    Best of Luck:)

    The maths papers will probaly be hard because next year they have project maths instead so if we do better then next years junior certs,it would look bad after all the departments hard work creating project maths as a 'easier' maths course.I just hope I'm wrong but it's the kind of thing I can see them doing.

    Should i do the mali case study?

    If you're studying Mali for its low population density then you could also do the West of Ireland. If theres other stuff you need to spend more time on I'd just leave it and if it comes up tomorrow write about how people left the countryside of Western Ireland to move to cities resulting in culture loss and stuff like that :L

    But it never comes up on paper one!!! :eek: :p I think I'm ok with algebra, it'll be geometry on paper two that could throw a spanner into the works.. I love trig, which is odd considering the rest of the class hates it. :p

    Is there a chance that question four and five in geography could be map/photograph?

    Q5 is always map/photo.They sometimes go on a mad one and throw a sketch map into the question where you can pick 3/4 parts :)

    Ha sure no probs! Definetly do something on the maps and photos cos that always comes up as a long question. Other than that, if you know your physical geog you can do another one so like go over volcanoes, rivers , seas. (or glaciers whichever you're doing) and then if they say Sudan is due to come up look at the differences between developed and developing countries. I have no idea how helpful this will actually be sorry :L

    Sudan, we never studied that?
    Is Calcutta or New York due to come out - I know them well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92 ✭✭OwlYouNeed

    We studied Sudan as part of economic inequality. We didn't study New York though. What section did ye cover it in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,286 ✭✭✭paddyzk


    I did new york for functional zones in a city ? anyone else ?

    That's what we did also. I think Economic Inequality we did North and South Italy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92 ✭✭OwlYouNeed


    We did Paris for different zones.

    We did Italy and Ireland as well. :P Sudan's in the chapter on economic equality and would be used for a question on factors that hinder development.

    Make sure you study cyclonic, relief and convectional rainfall, as well as ascending and descending air.
    Also, ensure you have an oxbow lake and waterfall diagram and formation prepared. I have a list and I'll post it when I find it, I got it from a guy who is writing exam papers years and his mates write them too, think he got a tip off!
    Don't hesitate to tell me if you know of any sort of predictions etc coming up this year, all higher level.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15 Aoifeo12


    I forgot, there are also supposed to be weather instruments! Campbell stokes, etc

    waterfall diagram and formation?
    would a v-shaped valley be okay?
    (they're both from the youthful stage)

    from reading the previous posts on this thread almost everyone said rivers.. so yeah


  • Registered Users Posts: 217 ✭✭IceCreamGirl


    rivers, fishing, urban functions and farming will come up i reckon

    I think bogs might come up in geography due to all the news coverage it has been getting.

    asked my geography teacher he said economic cliamate and bog's are a definate question !


    For geography, our teacher reccommended studying farming as a system, over-fishing, tourism and bogs. She also said there'll be something on climate but it could form part of tourism.

    Functional zones in New York City.
    Case study: Manhattan Island, New York City

    Finance
    Wall Street - stock exchange.
    Chrysler Building - offices.

    Shopping
    Fifth Avenue - shops such as Macy's
    Many other shopping areas, including Chinatown (Oriental shopping) ; Radio City.

    Entertainment
    Broadway - theatre and cinema

    Residential
    Harlem - a residential area where many African Americans live.
    Other residential areas - Upper East Side, the Bronx, Brooklyn.

    Industry
    The southern tip of Manhattan has docks along the Hudson River.

    Recreation
    Central Park is a huge rectangular area for recreation in the centre of Manhattan.
    Ice-skating in winter, pony rides, jogging and walking are some of the activities in the park. Channel Promenade, with its ice rink and cafe, is a major focus for people in New York.



    will i get full marks for that if something about functional zones comes up?


  • Registered Users Posts: 15 Aoifeo12


    I don't know to be honest, I didn't do that. Sorry I can't help more, I did Limerick city I think? It looks like a sufficient answer though.
