    With that question, alot of people I know put conservative, because the diagram wasnt exactly clear, but there were 2 arrows in opposite directions next to each other...so...i can see where that was an issue...
    there can't be volcanoes,at a conservative plate margin and I pretty much knew Indonesia is a destructive plate margin anyway.

    Im pretty sure it wasnt specified on volcanoes, it was earthquakes...

    I'm pretty sure one of the questions was about a volcanic eruption,in Indonesia.

    Yeah there was a question, like explain the distribution of active volcanoes in Indonesia, like a 2-3 mark and then afterwards you had what caused the earthquakes in Indonesia or something similarly phrased...

    yeah there was a question like that on one of the practise papers and I got confused. There were like 3 arrows or something like that in total. But it was destructive plate boundary. What did you guys put for why it took people by surprise ?
    i put exactly what it said in the text given. that it had been smoking for a few days but was not thought to be dangerous so people didnt think about preparing for it.

    im not sure if its right though

    I'm pretty sure one of the questions was about a volcanic eruption,in Indonesia.
    the first question was about describing the distribution of volcanoes the second part was explain why there are earthquakes in and around Indonesia.

    There was also a question about short-term responses,to a volcanic eruption in Indonesia.

    sorry for the scrape, but for that question I think I said they set up tmergency shelteers for those who were affected by the volcanic eruption. I linked it to a case study because it said use your own knowledge: like the mount etna one where bulldozers were used to to restrict the area of acess. And in the past the italian authorites have ised dynamite and miltary bombing to divert the flow of lava. I'm not sure if it is right ....

    What did you get in Unit 1? because the fact that I got 100% last time is what's bugging me.I'm so disappointed that I've let everyone down and obviously,haven't achieved my potential in this exam.
