Anyone any guesses on this topic? thinking myself it'll probably be either
a) Impact of Climate on Economy- Tourism
or
b) Changes in Climate over time and space

How is everyone fixed for geography tomorrow? I'm a bit of a mess what with it being on the same day as maths.

I havnt done geoecology. im so gonna fail

Hotale.com

There will be tears and tantrums before the night's done.

I plan on studying what I can with geoecology tonight, studying all activities for Irish regions, only primary+tertiary for Paris, primary for mezzo and primary+secondary for India. Then, gonna take a quick read over physical geography. Loooooong night ahead!

I feel as though we're in the same boat. A boat that could very easily sink.

What's everyone's geoecology plans?

Biomes, biomes and more biomes

The people not doing geography have no clue how easy they'll have it tomorrow :rolleyes:

Ditto. As long as the right questions come up! If not, more bullsh*t will be coming out of my pen then there was today

peekachoo

I usually do soil geoec questions but with it apparently the year of 2 biome qs I might learn a human interaction essay and a characteristic essay too

MightyMandarin

Is there any possibility that Biomes won't come up?

That would be horrifying. My usual plan is do geoecology first as I have an answer learned off for it. But all I know is characteristics of brown earth soils and characteristics of rainforest biome

Hannah098

For geocology if I have leaned characteristics of brown earths, factors that impact soil and the effect of desertification,overcropping and overgrazing on soil should I be covered?? Oh and what's everyone learning for human elective ?!

Lads i know this will make me look thick, but what in the name of jaysus is a biome??

Geoecology, you probably don't do it.

Everyone seems to do it but me :rolleyes:

You were right about the thick part

A biome is an area on the earth's surface where climate, soils, vegetation and animals are inter-related

JD244

My teacher was thinking a comparison of two soil types- arid and brown earth

Or

Human interaction with the soil- praying this will be on

Hannah098

Kinda freakin out about geography I've covered regional and the option kind of... But just wondering as someone with very little time is there any essays which have a high chance of coming up?!

feckin priests

I have a feeling human interaction will come up in some form. Hopefully there's 2 biome questions as well

Conchir

Tomorrow 70 years ago the D-Day landings started.

We can get through Geography and Maths paper 1!

Can i just do human interaction with rivers or would i have to do coasts also?

Is this from physical geography? If so you only have to do one of rivers, mass movement and coastal processes.

one more question for human interaction with biome how manby aspects have you covered? please name them

good luck with the study tonight guys.. get some sleep at some stage

kn2k10

Can anyone suggest a time plan to spend on each question for HL Geography?

I'm the opposite, did GDA, left out BMW only know BMW primary in case I'm asked to compare

juke46

I will also look like a thick asking this... But whats the point in studying the GDA as well as the BMW ?

A good cry would actually do me no harm at this stage. :pac:

Which option do you do?

They can ask to compare the two I think, pretty sure it's only ever come up with primary though?

GDA = Core, BMW = Peripheral.

If they try to be specific they'll ask you for core/peripheral.

missguided

Anyone here do culture and identity btw?

Global interdependence It's not too bad as long as what I know comes up. Nothing is going in, literally Loadsa macbeth and poetry quotes in my head still, no geography :pac:

What is everyone learning for Geoecology.

MightyMandarin

Is there realistically a point in me learning soils. I'm fine with biomes but scared they're gonna ask only soils.

oh my god why is it 9, I need to get off this and cram

Because the harsh reality of geography is too much to handle.

Yes, OR mass movement.
