any predictions for costal landscapes 8 markers ?????

I'm a bit surprised this chat is so quiet - only 9 days till the exam and its dead here. Does anyone have many predictions on what the 16 markers could be?

2022 questions for coasts
8 - how coasts can be seen as a system
16 - long term changes and short-term changes on coastal landscapes

2022 questions for ELSS
10 - Arctic Tundra and how the oil and gas companies affect the water cycle
16 - access the importance of carbon for humans

The 2022 questions for ELSS were very similar to 2020 - maybe the 2023 questions are going to be similar to the 2021 ones.

My predictions are as followed if anyone is interested:
- Arctic Tundra is unlikely to be a 16 marker, considering they asked about it as a 10 last year
- Last tropical rainforest 16 marker was 2018 and 10 was 2020 - could be a possibility?
- Might ask about short-term changes to Carbon/Water Cycles for the 16, and maybe something about carbon cycle for the 10 marker.
- Coasts 8 marker is going to be flows of energy for a certain landform last asked in 2019
- 16 marker is the one I'm struggling with - probably something to do with Eustatic/Isostatic Changes possibly?

I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on what to expect.

Probably a formation of a submergent/depositional landform - Ria has been on the specimen, so probably fjords or deltas, salt marshes

I feel like there's not enough to write about for fjords and rias

guys for glaciated landscapes do you think the 16 marker could be on periglacial landscapes (Alaska case study)?

I'm struggling with the coast 16 marker as well , but i think climate change or human activity could come up as that yet to be asked , i agree that 8 marker will be the formation of a depositional landform or the role of sea level change in the formation of a submerging/ emergent landform.

as for ells since the 10 marker was on water cycle las year it is more likely to be on carbon , the 16 marker could be anything tbh but the one last year was so bad as it was such a niche topic to write 16 marks on

anyway i am freaking out for this exam , i can't believe its in 8 days

How’s everyone feeling

I’m pretty stressed for glaciation. Especially the DAM construction. We just brushed over it but I don’t think there has been a Q on it yet

I’m pretty stressed because of the statistics and the 16 markers. Do you have any ideas of what they would be on.

any idea on 8 marker for glaciation

im guessing something easy like standard deviation hopefully and for the 16 marker im guessing periglacial landscapes so Alaska? im more worried for the 8 marker

Hmmm maybe it will be ice formation or a formation. I was thinking this year it may focus on glaciofluvial landscapes ( maybe the 16 marker). I also think there will be a figure picture for ELSS ( a picture of a urban area and how this affects runoff)
