Have you even read through the entire thread? Everyone was complaining on how the case study was about causes of an earthquake and suddenly according to you the question was about the EFFECTS? Read the thread... we shall see who gets the A* on results day...

I wrote about the effects, but I didn't read the question right because after it all my friends said it was the causes, so you probably misread the question as I did

Stuff which wasn't on paper 1, so weather, energy, coasts and water I think...

Actually I have to agree with GeoGenius on this one: had a quick discussion with mates, they all agree the title was the effects not causes.

OMG can you read. It said causes so shut up and stop making everyone else feel bad.

I thought it was alright/s;lightly challenging... the southern hemisphere questions kinda confused me but other than that it was alright. What about you? How did you find the maps part?

It was Ok. I messed up the clouds section so much.

Just for clarification to those who seek it.
A wide variety of points which explain the causes of a named earthquake are credited. Here are a few examples.
E.g. Sichuan China
Point 1. Convection currents in the mesosphere drive plate movement, this causes the Indian and Eurasian plates to move towards each other as it is a destructive plate margin, stress builds up between the two plates and this pressure/stress is suddenly released through seismic s and p waves, thus leading the to the Richter 7.9 earthquake in May 2008 for example.

Point 2.Nuclear testing in various provinces (not North Korea btw :biggrin:

) adds to stress and tension at the plate margin, which means increased pressure at the boundary, contributing to the earthquake itself.

Point 3. Fracking/search for oil.

I did find this question difficult myself, but, even if you misread it, you may be given some credit for knowledge that pertains to the question on causes.

It was:

Cumulus,
large cotton ball shaped white :biggrin:

(legit there is prbs a mark reserved for this)

Cirrus,
Thin wispy, high up in the atmosphere

Stratus,
Lower in the atmosphere

U only need 5 points/accurate descrip of the clouds so u may still get marks even if
u did not know wtf the clouds acc were

Yeah
I put cumulus, cirrus and then altostratus.
I also messed up some of the heights and i said the cumulus clouds were wispy.
Oh well, i'll get a few marks.
