AQA GEOG4A A2 14th June 2013

Would you mind sending those to me also, please? Much Appreciated.

could you also send me them too? thanks xx

Sent

Sent good luck! x

So at my school we're being forced to take this exam in our AS year and we've been 'taught' all the A2 skills in one loooonnng revision day, we were given some sheets.
Will someone please explain what is the usefulness of cartographic and logarithmic techniques?

It's the notes I've made for Skills as a whole, and the only thing I've used for revising it! I've got an A and a B using only those so far, so they seem to work!
I studied rivers and how they change downstream, so I've got my fieldwork notes on that, obviously mine will differ to everyone elses but if your fieldwork was similar, things could be adapted!
I've also got the good/bad features of each type of map/graph etc, and simplified the statistical tests a lot!
It's all in really simple terms, but like I've said, it works for me

Hey for any of you doing rivers i did this question but i'm not sure how many marks i would get! its the first question from jan 13:

b) Explain why you choose this aim for your investigation? (8)
I choose this aim for my investigation as after studying the Bradshaw Model in class which states that discharge, occupied channel width, channel depth, average velocity etc all increase as you move downstream, I wanted to investigate whether the changes in the variables of occupied channel width and average velocity would increase as the river moved downstream for the River Noe, a tributary of the River Derwent which runs through Derbyshire. I choose this river to investigate as being situated only an hour’s drive from school it was ideal due to it being easily accessible and it being the winter months when daylight is limited therefore allowing us ample time to investigate each of the twelve sites and collate our data correctly. As the river is relatively compact and short in length (3km) it allowed us to study all courses of the river in enough detail to gauge a representative sample of the river's characteristics and how they changed whilst travelling downstream without rushing and putting ourselves in danger of falling into the river or slipping on the river banks therefore minimising any risks.

how many marks would I get? its out of 8. its such a hard question and my teachers on a trip so i cant ask them
also don't think i wrote enough but that's all i could think of and the mark scheme is no help

We will be asked about a risk assessment?

Wait one sec, let me get my crystal orb….

Maybe 4 or 5 at most I am afraid.
