AS Edexcel Geography Unit 1 12th May 2015

wait was that sarcastic?

There was a fire alarm half way through our exam :/

What were you told to do? What happened?

Only low grade boundaries can save us now haha

I thought is said something about what is caused by high rainfall????
Floods, landslides??

I just found a really helpful revision guide on my computer for the unit 2 (GEO2) exam on Friday (I got a high A in it last year) with case studies and general info, also some examiners tips etc. If anybody wants it, drop me a message and Ill send it to you

Can u plss send the geo unit 2 link to me asap
thanks

Hi i said 0-5 year olds INCREASED however 60-70 DECREASED? Did anyone else put that?

Hi , This is for those that completed question 8 .

Question 8 :

A) messed up

B) How human activity had lead to increased greenhouse emissions.

Valid points : Greenhouse emissions consists of carbon dioxide, methane and Carbon dioxide ( 1 )
Without greenhouse gas temperatures would be -18 Degrees cooler instead of the current 15 degree average. (1)
Understanding of how heat is reflected to earths surface and is unable to escape into the atmosphere (1)
Newly Industrilised Countries / Recently industrilised countries e.g. Singapoore, Hong Kong, China (1)
These release large amounts through Coal powered firestations, through lack of regulations etc. (1)
China largest emitters in the World / Developing countries largest emitters in comparison to developed. (1)
Defforestation In Amazon forest in Brazil (1)
Fossil fuels burning (1)
Non-efficent cars , people using transport such as likes of cars, buses, aeroplanes , Boats.(1)
Carbon footprint understanding. (1)
Kyoto Protocal explained in little detail. (1)
Generally people emitting through housing e.g. electricity via kettles (1)
Food miles ? Carbon offsetting ? Carbon Neutral ? etc.
Lots more but these have been generally mentioned in the mark schemes in the last few years.

I did question 8!
I wrote similar things for the 15 mark, ghg emissions increase, warming atmosphere, burning fossil feuls, transport and co2 sinks. I also said about agriculture and methane but not Kyoto or nics... You sound like you had loads if detail and points!
Felt like I was simply repeating the resources for the 10 mark so moved on and was going to come back then with 5 mins to spare i realised I still had a section a q to finish!! I did it though, nothing left blank.

I felt quite confident with the Africa CS but what was that about?! Couldn't think of any other economic impacts "except farming" and I wrote how animals would need more shade for rising temps... Eek!

I wrote the same sort of thing for the farming and i'm pretty sure you'd get the marks for that

In terms of the short term cc I mucked up the question 100% and wrote about the Greenhouse effect and methane, maybe get 1 mark hopefully.

But I know the Milankovitch Cycle isn't short term but Sunspots is short/medium (I basically had a mind blank and thought volcanoes etc, were all long/medium term)

What did everyone write for transport encouraging globalisation? Think it was 4/5 marks

El nino and la nina are correct . Volcanic eruptions may be accepted. Solar output is generally long term.
