A2 AQA Geography 3A Summer 2012

Just reading everyone's predictions
I'd love anything to do with sustainable tourism/ecotourism/TNCs/Trade blocs for the essay question (though judging by the past papers this is pretty unlikely. I will actually cry if a question on NICs came up.) As for plate tectonics and world cities, I'm not fussed, though I have revised retailing until the cows come home.

I'm doing a very stupid thin for the exam. I don't know about other people, but we're taught four topics:
-world cities
-globalisation
-plate tectonics
-ecosystems.
I've done ZERO revision for ecosystems (I just don't get any of it) which means I don't have a back-up if the questions are awful.

Oh and I REALLY hope the tectonics essay is on plate tectonic theory, that's the stuff I read about in my free time :P although I supposed the extent of human and physical factors for earthquakes/volcanoes would be good too.

Hey, I'm just wondering, but if you are definitley doing World Cities as your short answer questions (as I only do 1 human and 2 physical topics), what case studies do you recommend, and to what depth shall I know them? I've got quite a few, but I don't really know which ones I should really be learning? thanks

Busy day today, plan to consolidate my plate tectonic case studies and go through past exam questions on PT before moving on to Weather in the afternoon

So like physical factors which caused the earthquake or led to it? and human factors to the extent in which the country was it?

so not talking effects really? :L sorry for confusing!

You have to talk about effects and impacts and how they were influenced by physical factors.

One good example/case study is the Montseratt eruption. It was predicted that the volcano would erupt which led to evacuation . Some zones were banned and some were declared as safe. However the wind direction led to the the ash falling on zones deemed to be safe. This gave the people a false sense of security meaning that people who were living on those areas were harmed.

Human Factors
Physical Factors

You have constantly link human and physical factors to go into level 4.

In your conclusion you have to summarise how the <keyword> in the question affected the outcome of the seismic event.

For conflicts, could a 40 marker come up on multicultural societies?

*high five* pretty much the same, going through case studies!

Today i'm going hard on revision! Just finished covering Earthquakes and Tsunamis - I have about 7 different earthquakes which is over kill but you can never have too many

Does anybody know if we need to know about El Nino and La Nina for weather and climate? Doesnt seem to be in the specification but i've heard we need to know it. Any thoughts??
