Think there will be a 9/6 mark question on opportunities/Challenges in the Desert ,Tropical storms and climate chnage. But remember revise everything and especially your case studies. Any questions ask and I'll hopefully be able to help.

I doubt it cause last year they had a 9 marker on Deserts and another 9 marker on effects of tropical storms

Won't be rainforests though because that's the pre release.

I think we could get ecosystems because we haven't had one before perhaps how to limit desertification as a 6 marker.

Yes, ecosystems such as food chains, webs , producers, etc is a good shout. Maybe opportunities/Challenges of living near volcanoes as I don't remember that coming up recently.

The first 2 sections are relatively easy I think. I got 53/58 in them but then I mess up on the third and get 20/30 which Is still a 9 but I would really love to get better on it.
What'd you think could come on coastal land forms?

Does anyone have an Ecosystem case study I can learn?

Reply 11

SchmuckOff

There's the one in the textbook , but there isn't a 'case study'
It's just an example of an ecosystem

Probably something to do with formation of a stack and how it goes from a cave to an arch ,etc.

So what do I need to know about ecosystems cos that's my weak point.

Revise food chains and webs, what a producer, consumer and decomposer are. Also how the removal of an organism can effect an ecosystem.

What even is desertification? Don't think I've been taught that...

Areas around the desert becoming desert. You will need to know how to prevent it and where it is happening. Go on Seneca learning and choose the correct course for you and you should find a section about it on there.
