A2 AQA Geography 3A Summer 2012

Isn't that like Coca-Cola? they sell world wide? Not really sure though..

I'm o expert, but from what i've read on here for plate tectonics intrusive activity, tsunamis, possibly the form of different volcanoes.

Has anybody got any notes on 'sustainable tourism' ? Or any advice on what to write about it if it came up in the exam?!

I have taken the recent major extrusive questions and changed it to intrusive

Here is what I have written (using notes), would this be ok & get 8 marks?

Describe the characteristics of, and explain the formation of, intrusive volcanic activity. (8 marks)

There are three forms of intrusive activity; batholiths, dykes and sills. Batholiths are major intrusive features and dykes and sills are minor intrusive features.

Batholiths are large scale intrusive features. They were formed from huge masses of magma that cooled slowly within the earths crust. Subsequent erosion stripped away the overlying rocks, exposing part of the igneous mass at the surface. Because batholiths compromise resistant rocks such as granite and gabbro they form prominent uplands such as Dartmoor and Cairngorms.

Dykes are thin sheets of igneous rock intruded at a high angle to the inclination of older surrounding rocks. Large numbers of dykes occur in the Inner Hebrides on the islands of Mull and Skye. Some dykes extend over long distances. The Cleveland dyke runs from Mull in western Scotland to within a few kilometres of the North Sea near Scarborough.

Sills are thin horizontal sheets of magma. Where erosion of valley sides has exposed sills they often form cliffs and escarpments. The Great Whin Sill in northern England has a major effect on relief. It forms the steep cliffs at High Cup Nick in Cumbria; and a prominent escarpment followed by sections of Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland.

What do you all think?

You're right but I know a fair few people skipping things that came up in Jan 2012 and June 2011 entirely, although it's unlikely why not just go over it? But nope they just skip it fully AND some people are scimming through all topics that have come before, which I think is just silly because it's evident topics have come more than once so why ignore all previous topics.

I did this in class, and I looked at Melbourne city's Cycling scheme as well as Hotel scheme (where they saved water!)

Hope that helps

how do people remember their case studies, I can't keep mine in my head

I haven't learnt any models, is that bad? :/


This was posted from The Student Room's iPhone/iPad App

what is an example of bad earthquake management?? as in a case study?

I've tried learning one, then doing something else, then learning another if similar. For example, I have just learnt Kobe, Japan, and now I have come on here for a bit so I won't get the Haiti one muddled.

Really regretting leaving revision until today now, still got plate tectonic theory, a tsunami case study, most of weather and most of world cities to go

Do you think it's possible to leave weather and climate (minus air circulation, structure of the atmosphere and UHI) until tomorrow?!
