I was actually taught this as a case study and in that it said it was entrenched

Well if you were taught it as a casestudy then it probably is! yay! thank you

Hahaha aww, I hope it said one because I wrote like two pages on corries somehow, and so I didn't have room for the others D: so I just kind of said where pyrimidal peaks and aretes can be found with named areas. I drew a corrie too, woooooooo moffukaas

You drew? enjoy zero marks, check mark scheme.

She did say she wrote two pages :P

I noticed on the advice part of the front page that it said diagrams should be used were appropriate, but then the mark schemes never mention them.

yes the river bed has particles ON it

The river bed CONSISTS of particles such as small pebbles. Therefore, a matter of logic, attrition is a erosional process that affects the bed.

Errr... no. Attrition is a gradual reduction in the grain size of material carried by a river as a result of collisions, abrasion, hydraulic action and corrosion. The erosion of the bed and banks is solely a result of abrasion and hydraulic action. The bed and banks are going to be eroded by any material, so therefore the affect of attrition on the bed and banks is immaterial.

i said the meander was entrenched as it had symmetrical profile and on the contours you could see there was similar steepness on both sides of the bank.

Im getting SERIOUSLY worried now as everyone's saying it was ingrown?

can someone please tell me what the answer is??

It wasnt symetrical. The graph shown one side to be 75m and the other 50.

Once again, I though it was a hard paper. Geo is just not my thing. Hopefully grade boundaries will be 70ish. Really doubt that it will be above 75. Had no idea on what to write about social advantages of an ageing population :s? And energy question left my mind to go blank (the 15 marker). But the questions before the essays were generally simple. Excluding the rivers one. My school has some really bad teachers

For the managing population could u have talked about the Turkish migrants going to Germany and how this is causing problems and basically what the gov is doing. This was the 7 mark q

If you explained how theyve tried to manage it them I think it should be finne .. Why didnt you do an ageing or youthful population?

Was gonna do china but then panic struck anyway pop change doesn't have to be internal it can be people migrating well bring on geog 2

Does anyone have the paper/mark scheme for the Jan 2012 paper that they could upload?

I have to disagree. Particles such as pebbles line the BED (that was the question with banks). Attrition is such particles colliding with each other and breaking down into smaller more rounded particles. Therefore, the river does erode its bed by the process of attrition alongside hydraulic action, abrasion and solution.

I thought the 15 marker on coasts was way too easy, it even gave us examples of what we could write about in the question! So as it said 2 or more, i wrote about how stumps were formed going through the process of crack,cave,arch,stack,stump. Then i wrote about headlands and bays referring to wave refraction, types of rock, the lithology so concordant and discordant coastlines etc. I had a bit more time at the end so described coves too.
Included examples such as Old Harry rocks in Purbeck and Lulworth Cove.

For the rivers 15 marker, i also found quite good as it was quite open. I chose to write about Bangladesh, and included lots of figures e.g 800,000 hectares of agricultural land flooded leading to death of livestock and loss of crops etc.

For population, I had mostly disadvantages of an ageing population such as the UK, included figures again e.g 1 in 3 people ending up in residential care means bigger bills to support them. For advantages i made it all up! I wrote how an ageing population would make a better community, and a better standard of living for older people as they have the majority of the votes.

For energy 15 marker, I wrote about renewable sources of energy e.g Biomass in Brazil, and wind power in Wales. Included figures again e.g 7,000 wind turbines needed to produce the same amount of electricity for 1 nuclear power station. It's only sustainable if managed.

You're talking rubbish mate. Attrition gets you zero marks

and in there are five anyway:

abrasion
attrition
cavitation
corrosion
hydraulic action

I'm sorry but how on earth do you know that "attrition gets you zero marks"? Are you an examiner? Did you write the mark scheme for the paper?

Doubt it

Deary me, attrition is not the river and the river bed. It takes any half able geographer to know that. Attrition is between particles within the water.


abrasion is between particles and the river bed. therefore even what you said above is not attrition.

Could you say corrasion as well?

yeah and for the mick take you could have said cavitation

[Lfctv]

sorry what

[Richard Lambert1]

what about hydraulic action?

[cheese-lemming]

My life guys... we won't know until results day so we shouldn't stress
BUT.... I liked it, I thought the coasts section was pretty...
