the soil I had nothing to put, what did everyone else put?

For the soil I talked about fertile/infertile soil and said that plants would grow in areas of soil with more fertility...

What did you guys put for the very first question in restless earth (besides the lahars melting)?

Not entirely sure whether my answer was right but I also said that transport links would get disrupted

Help, why is deposition important in the lower course of a river? Praying for SPaG marks because I think I've thrown away 8 marks there but I'm supposed to get A* argh!

I might be wrong but wasn't that question about the importance of deposition in lower course landforms? Because I remember I talked about how deposition was important in the lower course landforms (oxbow lakes, meanders, floodplains, and levees)...

We've never even learnt what levees are so those 2 beautiful 2 mark questions made me want to cry, and yeah that's the question, I write about oxbow lakes so hopefully on the right lines, thank you :smile:

Yeah so to get two marks you probably had to write about the mud flows/lahars (1) and a secondary impact (e.g. transport link disruption or bad water quality, etc) (1)

I put depending on whether the soil is fertile or not, it can affect the plants that grow in areas of a biome

Unfortunately I'm going to have to close this thread to prevent further discussion of this exam paper. As this paper is currently being used for mock exams, more discussion could lead to cheating.

I hope you understand, please PM me if you have any questions.
