Does that mean glaciation will also come up? Ya'll seemed to have done the sea, but we covered Glaciation?

Try some exam questions: http://www.examinations.ie/
Look at Light and Heavy Industries, Population, Weather etc

Yeah it always seems to be a sea or glaciation question, teachers must be allowed pick themselves which one they want to teach!:) (I'd check exam papers to be postive but I'm pretty sure)

It's sea or glaciation definitely. It says so in our book, that you choose to do one or the other.

My teacher said an Oxbow Lake covers river deposition and erosion. Can anyone confirm this?

Looking at the syllabus, it says:
v)
Solid rock and loose materials in the crust are subject to attack by mobile
agents which cause erosion, transport and deposition. Important among these
agents are: running water, moving ice and the sea
(Select for study running water and either of the other agents at (V) above

So it looks like everyone has to cover rivers, but that there will be an option to do glaciation or marine erosion, transport and deposition.

i was pretty sure its just deposit because it seals off the little twist and also erosion cause the meander erodes in making it join together but deposition is the main one, says so in our geography book

Find a question you want answered, and i'll answer it .

Ox bow lakes were both erosion and deposition in my day.

Still are.

But they can't be used for both questions, should an example of one or the other come up. You have to say ox-bow lake for one, and pick something else for the other.

I doubt it will come up as a long question. No one really gets it. And if it does come up as a short question, I bet it would be something like which is the correct statement or a matching question

Winds and water spin anti-clockwise in northen hemisphere.

Winds and water spin clockwise in southern hemisphere.

Whats the point trying to predict it? Just learn the chapters and choose the questions that you know the best

Anyone that solely relies on predictions is setting themselves up for failure, but throwing in your view on what'll come up is fairly interesting.

Does anybody know what the most likely long questions are?

Just because someone asked for a little help in predicting it will not set u up for failure as predictions are all u can really do as well as studying the books of course !!! Just showin my views !!

No, studying is the main thing. Predictions is extra you CAN do. It's not ALL you can do alongside studying. As I said, anyone SOLELY RELYING on predictions is setting themselves up for failure.

1) What is the term irrigation ??
2) describe one major irrigation project that you have studied ??

claryfray

Personally I try to cover everything, but morning/night before the exam I just look over the predicted stuff to make sure I know that perfect

I agree that if you're cramming you should learn predicted stuff but don't expect a good mark....its a big risk!

Lost In Confusion

1) Irrigation is the artificial watering of plants.
2) A major scheme irrigation scheme I have studied is the Aswan Dam Scheme, in Lake Nasser. The scheme has it's advantages as well as it's disadvantages. The scheme was set up by the Egyptian Government in the 1960s because there would be a monsoon season where plenty of water was available and a season when water was scarce.

The advantages are of this scheme are
1. Lake Nasser provides water sports which encourages tourism.
2. The Irrigation scheme provided water for Egypt and for neighboring Sudan.
3. It provides clean water which decreases the chance of diseases such as dysentery.

The disadvantages are
1.The river Nile used to flood every year leaving rich alluvial soils, now that it does not flow farmers are left buying expensive fertilizers.
2. When the Scheme was built many people had to leave there homes because they got flooded.
3.Egypt is a hot country and sometimes the water in lake Nasser can evaporate leaving salt behind, salted water can poison the land.

In conclusion the description of the major irrigation scheme I have studied is listed above.
