How was Geography (AQA A)?

Wouldn't hep be an adaptation of the fold mountains as you're using the steep valleys etc
Tourism you're using the fold mountains provides jobs helps conditions by providing income
I think perhaps you're slightly overthinking it but who knows

Well that's the thing, is that an adaptation to difficult conditions? Who knows bro

For the question about a case study about fold mountains, in the question, it said discuss how people living there are adapted to difficult living styles or w/e. Therefore, I didn't write about HEP, Mining, Tourism and Farming for uses. I had revised adaptations the day before and some points I included were:

-High slopes had infertile soil - therefore, llamas and goats are farmed there
-Consequently, the lower slopes had fertile soil, therefore crops could be grown there
- Limited communications - roads were long and would take ages traveling, therefore, they were adapted to this by building tunnels through the mountains for shortcuts.
-Because they live near mountains and there are hazards such as avalanches - they adapted to this by building large trees to absorb the impact.

So yeah, I think I'm literally the only one who put those down. Either I'm the only one who got that question right, or everyone else got it right and I didn't.......

*ps, in the spec it says candidates should be aware of how people are ADAPTED to living in tough, extreme places*

Well done to everyone nonetheless!

You're not the only one!

Yesterday in a Geography revision session my teacher warned us about a question relating to fold mountains. He said that we should read the question carefully to see what it was asking because there's a different to land use and how people have adapted. I literally love my teacher to bits because we went through it yesterday and I felt like jumping up hugging everyone!

So yeah, I think we should get the marks because I also put those exact points down (any chance they were from the CGP book? )

destructive wave, high frequency 10-14 per minute, steep and high, backwash stronger than swash

what did you put for how do constructive waves shape the coast? you don't need to write about longshore drift right?

it began with a 'p' I think

I reckon the grade boundaries will be sky high.

A* - 58
A - 50
B - 43
C - 35

Everyone found it fairly straightforward.

I did Q 1, 5, 7

q1) R.earth--- I did the Andes, talked about terracing, foresting, llama in the mining industry, subsistence farmer... those points mainly and developed them a lot more obvs

q5) Rivers--- I did MEDC effect vs/ LEDC effects

I did the Cockermouth vs/ Bangladesh
I did about 4-6 primary and secondary effects for Cockermouth and 3-4 primary and secondary effects for Bangladesh. ALso i tried to compare as much as possible....
but i think i might have lost a few marks on that Q

The q7) Coasts---- I did the case study about East Anglia

I did 1 like 3-4 social points and 1 political points, then I realized that there was clearly not enough... so i used a few economic points and tried my hardest to like it to social and political , i think i also may have lost a few marks on this.

wby

I think you'll be fine. For q5 I did about 3 effects for both and then said that the LEDC is more severe due to lack of funding for emergency services.

First one I did the Alps talking about them being isolated so they build roads through the mountain, farm at the bottom of the slope, HEP schemes.
Do you think I'll pick up any marks for a labelled cross section of the meander?

Funny story but annoying as well, some kid pulled the fire alarm so we had to leave the exam for 10 minutes. It was absolute jokes lol

If you read the key at the bottom you would of found out that was just large boulders

GEOGRAPHY AQA A PEOPLE!! HIGHER...

THE FIRST QUESTION IN THE LITTLE TABLE,...
it asked something like 24^ WEST and sometreitng 65^NORTH or something like that, they asked what volcano or something was on the map

What was it out of

WTF omg ahahaha
was it someone sitting the exam or a pesky Y7 or 8??

Did u see the Q's.. did it happen during the exam... were u able to revise n them 10 min

did they giving u 10 mins extra back?
