A2 aqa geography june 2011 official thread

You too,
anyone else actually breaking down right now, I've been working at this for weeks but just found the climate section for TRF about the ITCZ, I don't know anything about it!

this may seem lyk a dumb question but whats ITCZ

Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone.

Low pressure belt responsible for the cast amounts of rainfall in the tropics..i.e. Rainforests.

Woah there, think you've got this mixed up. Your correct in the sense no, there wasn't any monitoring because it hadn't erupted in 9,400 years and Chile is an LEDC.

But there was management, such as the 3,900 Chaiten locals evacuated, 1,000 Futateufu people evacuated, 50km exclusion zone, bottled water and masks, $1,800 in compensation for each family per month for a number of months, 90 day freeze on bank loans and financial aid to small businesses. lastly they brought the USGS in to monitor it.

i havent heard of that before!?!?

how many pages should the essay be ? thanks

Not meaning to be argumentative, but I think YOU'VE got some stuff mixed up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought that MANAGEMENT refers to what is done in preparation BEFORE the event, such as monitoring, pre-planned evacuation procedures, building lava diversions, building houses to be strong to hold ash fallout, etc

The stuff you mentioned about evacuation, bottled water and compensation etc are RESPONSES, which comes AFTER the event.

On standard A4 at approx. 300 words a side it should be 4 pages (or just under). If you want to know how many words you write a side just add up about 10 lines of your writing, divide by 10 and times by 33

can someone help me please
if i have a UMS SCORE OF 191, how many MARKS do i need to get a B overall?

Or just multiply by 3.3

You want 320 for an A. With 191 UMS you should be going for an A

A B is 280 though, 89/200 at A2 and you've bagged it....hence you need to be going for an A!

unless they've done the AIB in jan in which case they'll need 89/120 for a B and 129/120 for an A. i think we all see the problem there
