A2 AQA Geography GEOG 3 2016

AQA knew we were predicting seismic, so that's exactly why for the first time they went against them alternating all the time and instead they put another volcanic question in! Idiots! Oh well I still felt it went well

what topics did u do?

Plates for 25 marker (was fine apart from 7 marker which was a bit tricky and I didn't have enough time to do the 10 marker well)
Then we did dev+glob and conflict, I did the conflict 25 marker and development essay

Anyone know what the weather and climate questions were ?

i did the conflict 25... found writing about both the reasons and consequences of separatism time consuming tho, they used to be 2 totally separate questions

Overall...
40 marker on tectonics was shite, my volcano case studies were weak. Think I've got 30/40.
25 mark ecosystems section - very nice, think I've got 23/25
25 mark world cities - nice 7 and 8 marker, 10 marker worded weirdly. I'm thinking maybe 19/25.

I'm guessing I've got 72ish. Could definitely have been better

I agree, I thought it was all very difficult. Wording of those 40 markers was horrific - I managed to get in a lot of discussion about volcanic activity, montserrat, seismometers etc but still not happy with it.

Goes to show no amount of revision can prepare you lmao, those 40 markers could have screwed a lot of people over

72 is a solid A* lmao enough

Seismographs are earthquakes though? I mentioned tilt meters, observatories, ground deformation, gas emissions and water level table. I then explained how these technologies have reduced impacts in MEDC's with case studies of eyja and mt redoubt compared with ledc' where lack of technology has exacerbated the death and destruction. I used seep impacts relating to hazards and technology. Not a nice question!

best exam everrrr

tectonics stuff was sweet, world cities 10 market was a bit odd wording to me (spoke about park hill in Sheffield) and the ecosystems essay was sweet.

I practically spoke about problems today in terms of being unsustainable demand increasing, population increasing etc.

Spoke about issues in Brazil with deforestation and attempts to protect the area and highlighted some problems.

Background info on Serengeti, how education is important to help the sustainability of the biodiversity of the land and reasons to why it was unsustainable (mentioned the Serengeti itself is unsustainable due to the change in landscape an effect of the ivory trade and lack of elephants)

Highlighted importance of education again, benefits and concluded about my own views and spoke about the Great Barrier Reef, another example of human activity (previously mentioned in education about how impacts can be highlighted ahd tourists could spread the information and the problems addressed)

All in all I bloody loved this exam paper! (this is where I misunderstood the essay question completely..)
