and on drawing the volcano formation one i didnt give example to name the plates i just called htem denser oceanic and less dense crust??

am i going to lose a lot? how much
AQAHH

I didn't think the exam itself was too bad, and having pored over mark schemes I just want to prepare myself if I've been misled.

On the 6 mark questions for 'explain how a sea stack is formed' etc., as long as you explain it using erosional steps that are adequate and give an example, e.g. Flamborough Head, that is classed as a detailed answer, isn't it? They're not expecting you to draw a diagram underneath or on the lines Also, what was the last question on coasts? I always get paranoid I've missed a question

wtf???????

the increments could have been 5 couldnt they?
it would make sense

lol seeing your comments make me laugh. If the question doesn't ask for a case study or diagram then you can gain full marks without them.
For the glacial trough, were you meant to talk about erosion ie plucking, abrasion - thats what i did

Apparently a glacial trough is a U shaped valley.

I didnt learn this until after the exam, so I just wrote about the glacier moving down, then truncated spurs and ribbon lakes and stuff. I think I put plucking and abrasion too. Thought the more things I mentioned the more chance I'd pick up some marks.


I thought the exam was short too.
In the mocks our school made, they crammed as many questions as they could into one two hour paper so everyone was rushed. I had about 15 minutes left at the end of this exam though.
