OCR A-level Geography Paper 1 - 13th May 2025 [Exam Chat]

Any predictions

Any predictions

stop same geography is my worst subject and i hate elsss

I have nothing to go off other than the past papers themselves, but my thoughts were either formation of a landform due to human activity/coastal management, or coastal landforms due to sea level rise (raised beaches, marine terraces and abandoned cliffs for sea level fall, and rias, fjords and shingle beaches for sea level rise). I think then for the coasts 16 marker it will 100% consequences of coastal management if the 8 marker isnt, but if it is, then I think it will be high energy vs low energy coastlines. As for Earth's Life Support Systems, the 10 marker has to be about cloud formation and water cycle stuff; it has never come up and its some of the most challenging content so it would be a good question for them to see how well the cohort understands the science behind it. Finally, my guess for the 16 marker will be something along the lines of, "the influence of human activity on the carbon cycle in the tundra is more than in a tropical rainforest". This is all just a guess based off the previous exams but due to COVID and OCR just being a rubbish exam board, there isn't that much to go off. Let me know your thoughts anyway.

does anyone have any predictions for glaciated landscapes questions?

Im surprised how quiet this thread is compared to last years one

please can anyone explain how to evaluate in 10 markers and 16 markers because I still don't really ever know what to say?

I think that it could be interrelated landforms in a HIGH energy coastline as they’ve only asked that for low energy so far?
