Geography or History

history is more based on essay writing and generally longer answers, i chose geography, it’s more factual, however with geography you have to know more - if you like english and can accommodate being good with essay writing then take history, however if you’re good with remembering facts (a lot and a lot of facts) then take geography

would you mind telling me what geography consisted of? like all i see is oceans, seas, environment, rainforest deforestation and stuff like that. i dont know if thats it and thats geography, i thought geography would be more, you know, geographic, as in about rocks and mountains and stuff like that. all weve been learning is environmental stuff.

It really does depend on the exam board you do; different exam boards have varying content

I did geography at GCSE.
I found it quite easy really. It was really interesting. There was the odd essay, but it wasnt like massive essays or anything.
I didnt do history so cant comment on that.

can you describe the work you do ?

I do Equdas B and there are basically three main themes
Theme 1 is changing places and this talks basically about urbanisation and the social, economic and environmental effects of this, how it can be managed, advantages and disadvantages, migration, causes and effects and then a few case studies
Theme 2 is shaping the landscape so this is about rivers, rivermanagement, coats and coastal management,weather and climate, global warming and how it can be managed
Theme 3 is ecosystems so biomes, how ecosystems work, small scale and large scale, how are they used by people, negative impact of humans, water security, desertification
