Physical Geography - what are features are u learning?
How do u prepare for part (b)s?

I am learning
Coasts
Cliff - erosion
Bay and headland - erosion
Spit - deposition

part (b) isostatic, eustatic movement.
Management - types of things they can do groynes etc.

Rivers
Ox Bow Lake - deposition (even though erosion is a main part in its formation)
Waterfall - erosion
V shaped valley and interlocking spurs - erosion

part (b) colorado river, river rhine.

I'm doing the exact same as you only instead of spits I'm doing beaches. For question B on coasts I'm doing "Coastal works at Hastings" and for Rivers it's "River managment on the Rhone".


For the physical question do you just start straight in at which ever features your doing or do you describe the coast aswell?

randomfella

how do u mean describe the coast? no just straight into the features. DEEPD

hey randomfella, you get my PM?

Would anyone recomend just studying two physical questions. I had planned to do glaciation aswell but It's impossible to learn! I was thinking of giving Karst landscapes a go.

chillywilly

with coasts and rivers you would be sorted! its really easy to learn aswell!!

Africa

Learning Coasts, Rivers and Glaciation. May take a look at Karst JIC.

Coasts:
Cliff
Sea Cave/Sea Arch/Sea Stack
Tombolo

Rivers:
Deltas
Waterfall
V-Valley

Glaciation:
U valley
Corrie
Outwash plain

Hoping for an A...

okay, here is something im not sure of: you know the way you have to explain the processes involved(hydraulic action, abrasion,etc), do you have to explain them every time you write about different landforms or do you just explain them at the very start then just name them each time?

Africa

Say them at the beginning and thats it! Refer back to them but dont continuously explain them, you gain no extra marks by repeating yourself!

cheers, just wanted to be safe not sorry!!
