Was so shocked they asked about TNCs for like the 3/4th time, and they were the same questions, I could've sworn they were gonna ask about the development continuum, LDCs and NICs, nevertheless I managed to put in the development continuum whether they wanted it or not I made it relevant 😂

LDCs and NICs basically came up as the essay, so that would be why

What did people include in WC 40?

What did you put for the tectonics 7 marker?

hi guys,
was just wondering for the tectonics 40 marker
I wrote majority of my essay on volcanoes, but then for some reason wrote some on earthquakes, how badly will this affect my mark, only a bit of it tho.
thanks

Depends - did you just dump in an earthquake case study or did you make it synoptic? The examiners, when talking about flair and thinking like a geographer, mean that they don't want you to conform to an imaginary mark scheme in your head and would like you to 'take risks' in a sense, exploring different ideas and connecting the different parts of geography. Thus, if you mentioned an earthquake and connected it in well to your volcanoes essay, you may have gained marks for being synoptic. For example I mentioned how in the Naples Earthquake of 2015, Facebook launched its friend finder and that this technology could help out in the future of volcanic disasters in that it could be combined with GIS to provide maps that help rescue teams located where the worst areas are based upon the amount of people that mark themselves as safe.

Can't mess up more than I did with the 10 marker for world cities. I spoke about a retail centre. 😂

That tectonics 40 marker too though? Was worded so awkwardly.

Language student : I'm pretty sure you wrote the correct things. I spoke about deline in Detroit with mine to relate it to characteristics. :')

What did everyone write for the 7 mark conflict question?

Found this so difficult. I wrote about quite a few things in little detail. I did the Tatars may be discriminated against as the minority.
Crimea is geographically isolated
Population may be tired of being passed around from Russia to Ukraine (lol idek)
Military presence may cause violence to escalate
Tartars being removed from their land in ww2 may have created resentment

Honestly no clue if any of this is credit worthy, hopefully picks up a few marks

Is this a good examples of flair? A
I said that there would need to changes in the school system for multiculturalism one example is that this exam may have been changed its date due to Ramadan.

I did exactly the same, added some of the ages and pattern from E to W with E oldest, dormant, potential impact on building infrastructure and then pattern for new islands to form as did loihi

So talking about Manchester and saying whether the economic/social impacts were positive/negative... would that be OK?

Me too, but all worded very badly. Didn't really mention the magma plume though lol oops
How did you comment on it? I said that recently the theory behind hotspots had been updated and now could be due to weaknesses in the crust and areas of high volumes of magma, so this didn't provide evidence for that, dunno if that's any good or not

I wrote about the Albert Dock Liverpool property led regeneration scheme, and Liverpool one, so the property led stuff took place in the city centre, so I think I'll have still gotten at least some marks ??
