A2 AQA Geography GEOG 3 2016

Any predictions for Plate Tectonics, Ecosystems and World Cities?

yeah, if you look at the spec it wants contrasting case studies for all of those, between countries at different levels of development... so many case studies.

For ecosystems I think it's gonna be fragile ecosytems case studies or routeways because AQA love that for 10. And for 8 maybe succession or changes in rural- Urban fringe

I am doing the tectonic 40, and I think it's going to be a theory based question

what case study did you use for counter-urbanisation in a less developed country?

World cities 8 and 10??
What are examples of planning and management issues

my bad. I think i got confused, you dont need two case studies for each urbanisation process.

Hi I am doing Ecosystems, World cities and hopefully the tectonic 40. For World cities can someone tell me what I would write for a question on planning and management issues and economic development and its effect on urbanisation. Also because I am doing a 10 do I still need to know a MEDC and LEDc case
study for urbanisation, sub and counter

Yeah I reckon it'll be something to do with a topical biome - we've had biodiversity and how we need to maintain it and the one about how human activity has altered vegetation characteristics as well as climatic conditions. I really can't think what else they can ask without asking the same things?

Hey hey,
Yeah I agree! Something to do tropical rainforest, maybe a question similar to the TDW 40 marker, so analysing whether the characteristics are more the result of human influences or natural - there's nothing else they could ask about it right??
Looking at all of the past papers, they've pretty much asked everything I think? They have repeated the TDW question quite a few times, so a repeated question may come up?

Last years 40 marker was a bit weird, threw me off at first but after thinking about it for a while it was okay! Fragile environments and conservation are my worst bits of ecosystems so the fact it came up last year (and hence prob won't come up again) makes me so happy!

mexico city, mumbai.

Can someone please answer this world cities question, i really dont know how to relate

"using examples, evaluate the relationship between economic development and urbanisation" - 10 marks.

Hey
Generally as a country becomes more economically developed it becomes more urbanised. This happens because as the county industrialises from a mainly rural and agriculture based economy to a manufacturing and services industry people move from the countryside to the cities in search of employment and a better quality of life. Fo example in UK and Germany the % urban population is over 80% whereas in Afghanistan this figure is below 50%. There are obvs some exceptions to this relationship e.g. Libya has % urban population of over 80% however is relitavely undeveloped, this is because of geographical reasons.
So there is defo a correlation between economic dev and urbanisation but there are also many other factors that affect urbanisation.

Hope this helps xx
