The Elan Valley reservoirs in Powys. Supplies Birmingham area with clean water etc. Then some economic, social and environmental issues (positive and negative)

It's water transfer.

River management: Soft Engineering - Mine is my town xD
River management: Hard Engineering - Three Gorges Dam

I'd think it is safe to say that you should revise everything to be honest. They usually cover a wide range of the specification so you can't rule anything out. As for case studies I haven't looked at what has come up and what hasn't but I might do that now.

Just did some research and so far all the case study questions have been on Restless Earth so:

Volcano Responses - eg. Montserrat Souffriere Hills
Fold Mountains Uses and Adaptations - eg. Alps
Tsunami Effects - eg. Boxing Day Asian

ps. this is based around what 3 I am studying which are Restless Earth, Water on the Land and Ice on the Land :smile:

For (RE) I predict a question on earthquakes and a possible case study however it is unlikely as all the case studies have been on RE so far.

For (IOTL) I predict an 8 marker on transportation and deposition and possibly a case study on a Ski Resort eg. Chamonix

I do not have knowledge of Coastal Zone sorry :smile:
does anyone think that the river tees thing will come up for water on the land for aqa?

Thnx:smile:
Does anyone know if there'll be stuff about other features associated with supervolcanoes on the restless earth bit? Like I've got notes about geysers and stuff that we've done in class but I don't want to waste time learning it cos I can't see it on the spec

You can also talk about the Alps for fold mountains and their adaptations.
