Geography went quite well today!

What was the question about plastic in Oceans on the Edge though?

I wasn't sure how you can prove past climate change, so I went for ice cores an fossils.

The six mark question comparing Secondary and Primary Impacts of a Tectonic Event was a bit weird (didn't compare, just stated).

The six marker on Coastal Change and Conflict was quite hard, didn't know many env impacts of a rapidly eroding coastline, but I said that the erosion would create sedimentation, changing pH of the water, killing marine life, and that local species may move too...

Yeah, apart from a few question i think it was ok. However still think was harder than recent years which should be reflected in the grade boundaries

There are drawings and paintings of ice fairs during the mini ice age and fossils/skeletons of the mega fauna who strived during the mini ice age and they're not alive now so clearly some climate change must have happened.

So I'm pretty sure I got a U today.

How many marks would I need on the other 2 papers to get a solid B? I got A* on the coursework so can I still compensate?

Or have I seriously f***** up

That question on plastic like what??
I just wrote about how plastic as a source of waste is quite prevalent and used the data
That was just weird, comparing them? I wrote about Nepal
I did Ice cores and tree rings
The coastal change one, we didn't do many environmental impacts like what else can you write

i did the foundation paper and it was quite alright tbh! the only question that really put me off was the rivers question where we had to explain the formation of floodplains....

other than that... the paper was good!
