    Can someone please do me a sample answer for oceanic circulation as I don't have the notes on it:

    Describe the pattern of ocean currents in the North Atlantic Ocean, and
    explain how they help to maintain the global energy balance. (6 Marks)

    Guysguysguys! Has anybody else noticed that the Lithosphere question is always the same as the Rural Land Resources question the year before? I think this means we'll get glaciation for lithosphere tomorrow

    Re: Higher Geography 2012
    Yes I noticed this earlier! Doesn't seem like a coincidence at all!

    My predictions are;

    Atmosphere - Solar Budget/Energy Surplus/Ocean Currents
    Biosphere - Soil profiles
    Lithosphere - Glacial features
    Hydrosphere - Describe River on a OS Map

    Rural - Choose between the 3
    Population - Demographic Transition Model/Population Pyramid
    Industry - Old Industrial Area Describe/Explain factors
    Urban - CBD on a map

    Rural Land Resources - Limestone Area
    Development & Health - Malaria - Difference within/between and Social/Economic Indicators

    Well, I'm hoping all that comes up...

    I think,hydrological cycle might come up as my teacher told us to make sure we knew it!
    She also said learn soils thoroughly.. Then again she might have said it just to be safe!
