How was Geography (AQA A)?

The wave was constructive due to the sediment shown deposited on the walkway, it had a high wave crest due to it reaching such a high point along the walkway. Not only this but due to the high volume of spray, we can tell the wave has a high wave energy.


yes i thought it was trick since the next question was on constructive too aha

YES I DID THAT!!! YES OMG
I did Q 1, 5, 7



whAt did you do for the one about when u had to draw the map on this bank map, what did u put the labels as (Q5 btw- coasts) i put sandy beaches, bays, headlands

i forgot but, it was those ones around those words and that general gist
wby


I saw a few little dots out in the sea so labelled them as stacks or stumps and I also did 1,5,7 and found it a very good paper

exactly the same with me don't worry, you have human and your controlled assessment too


Really hoping so... thing is, I can never tell how I've done it geography bc the mark scheme is so weird... hoping this stress is just unnecessary but I highly doubt it...

Pretty sure that one was destructive as a high crest is a feature of a destructive wave, as is a high wave energy.

Ah :frown: I saw the sand on the walkway and just thought of deposition like in constructive waves but thinking about it, I think you're right! well thats 3 marks gone!

I reckon the grade boundaries will be sky high.

A* - 58
A - 50
B - 43
C - 35

Everyone found it fairly straightforward.


No way. 50 at the most, some people actually found it hard. I found last year's paper easier and an A* was 46

There was a lot of deposition and the reason the crest is so high is because of the artificial barricade, rather than a natural one - it wasn't that tall too.

exactly last years was sooo easy, but maybe thats because we aren't under pressure

I wouldn't beat yourself up about it as most of the paper was easy, so although you may have shed marks here, I bet you picked them back up later on :smile:

oh
i said the crest was tall so it appeared to have a strong swash up the coast and it was a tall wave in comparison to its width

also, i didn't know if aqa were being tricks-y by putting another question about constructive waves after it, which is another reason I put destructive
I did 1 5 7 and it was decent tbf

i thought it was good :smile: restless earth and water were great. The only sticky bit was talking about political impacts of sea level rise in Coasts


That one was really hard.:s-smilie:

you just quelled your own doubts, constructive waves have a powerful swash, destructive have a powerful BACKswash and yh i think AQA were trying to trick

In the coasts section what did you put for "describe the wave" 😂


When I saw that question I was genuinely like 'naaa are you having a laugh' 😂
THERE WAS NO WAVE 😂😂
