I think there might be a 4 marker on tsunamis - I don't think there will be a 12 marker on it because we mainly do earthquakes and volcanoes.

Maybe health, employment sector changes. My teacher said if there’s anything to know about your 2 contrasting places, it’s the life expectancy.

Cornwall!! Best case study. There’s the CUC, Newquay Aerohub, Jamie Oliver’s restaurant.

No worries. How was the physical paper?
I found it a bit half and half.

Annoyingly if I had looked over some stuff one last time that I'd reminded myself of earlier I would have done a lot better (cliff profiles and catchments) but I think I didn't fail? Overall pretty mean questions in terms of phrasing but I think I can anticipate Paper 3 a little bit better now based on what they didn't mention. I didn't mind the shorter questions but wasn't a fan of the 20 markers haha. The one that is annoying me the most is the 6 marker about changing climate or something? People seem to have a lot of wildly different answers and I can't really tell how I did :frown:

Unfortunately my teacher got that bit wrong haha, we focused on tsunamis as they haven't had a direct question but he guessed the cliff profiles and some of the other coasts bits. I'll update here when I've had my lesson and if he doesn't go through it just yet I'll make sure to come back here when he does! Hope Paper 1 was alright for you :smile:
