As said above, for Restless Earth it's almost certain it's either super volcanoes or tsunamis which will appear as the 6/8 markers (which is a shame because the volcanoes and earthquakes are easier xD).

I wouldn't really think there would be a 6/8 mark question on supervolcanoes as there isn;t really a lot to write about

I'm doing Rocks, Resources & Scenery; Coasts and Restless Earth.
I'm hoping quarries don't come up much! Which probably means they will...

I'm doing

- Restless Earth

- Coasts

- Water on Land

Coasts

Will rising sea levels come up in the exam do you think?

coasts will most probably have a 6/8 marker on the coastal habitat case study (Keyhaven Marshes)

Yes most certainly... Keyhaven Salt Marshes is the best case study for this particular question

Hi

Hope the revision is going well for this exam. There are some great Geography GCSE resources on TSR - flashcards, mindmaps, notes - rated by stars and teacher recommendations.

Try this document about coasts which includes Keyhaven salt marshes.

Is it helpful?

Im doing Restless Earth, Water on the Land and living world.

i think for Restless Earth - itll be volcano or tsunami.
water on the land- hard/soft river statergies and comparison between MEDC and LEDC floods
Living world - i have no ideas but dont think itll be on a MEDC desert

Think there definitely could be something on super volcanoes for Restles Earth. Something Like:
Give an example of apotential super volcanic eruption and its possible effects (8)

To which you might write about:

•

YellowStone, Wyoming, USA

•

Magma chamber is 40kmwide and 8km deep

•

Last eruption 63,000years ago

•

Hugepyroclastic flow would travel thousands kilometres from Yellowstone, destroyingeverything in its path – 87,000people immediately killed

•

Huge amounts (1000km³)of rock, ash + lava would be released

•

Ash would blockout sunlight meaning less heatenergy gets to earth and can trigger a miniice age

•

Ash wouldcover fields of crops, meaning lessfood so people starve

•

Sulphur emissions cause a drop of 12^o in the NH

My Predictions for 8 markers are: restless earth- comparing earthquakes, ice on land- effect of glacial retreat on alpine area and coasts - impact of sea level rise.

volcano impacts/responses is very likely

im not learning any case studies that have turend up in past papers for restless earth since 2012. They are unlikely to be asked again. what do you think
