Geography Paper 2

[kash2456]

i got 43% and in numbers 0.4 something (i dont remember) what did you get?
It was basically 300 divided by 700!

 

[kash2456]

yeahh it was easy but longer than previous years .. btw what was the answer for gradient thing

gradient= 300/700

oh i did the opposite isnt it horozintal by vertical ? i did 700 /300 ,, did they ask to express it as %?

 

[kash2456]

NO! its vertical by horizontal! sorry my friend but thats wrong! its ohk! u will score in other questions...and no i just wrote the percentage in brackets but it wasnt necessary!

 

[Amaryllis]

NO! its vertical by horizontal! sorry my friend but thats wrong! its ohk! u will score in other questions...and no i just wrote the percentage in brackets but it wasnt necessary!

in my book its written horozintal /vertical if i want to express it as a ratio (for ex. 1: 700/300) btw it gives the same answer as your percentage

 

[kash2456]

No gradient is always rise (vertical) over run (horizontal)! i am sorry but your book is wrong...http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080928151510AAxOLjz

oh ! it only worth 1 mark right? what about other questions ? tickk the correct ans. in first page was 10 for and 2nd question 1km square ?
and for evidence of erosion i wrote : steep slopes v shaped valley, waterfalls, rapids and interlocking spurs

 

[kash2456]

ya thats correct! for erosion i wrote that u could see layers of rocks (sedimentary rocks) so its formed bcoz of erosion and deposition and waterfall extending backwards which shows it constantly rubbing against the resistant rocks causing erosion!

 

[Tobi Balogun]

On my last page I had a tick on the right , 2 on the left then on the right again HBU ?

 

[kash2456]

for that question u can tick on any side but u have to give a VALID explanation for why u chose that so any will do ;-)

 

[fatima hussein]

The gradient is 0.43 i thought i did okay. What did you guys get for the distance? This is Variant 2 geo right?

 

[Tobi Balogun]

How did you describe the relief for the area ?

 

[waleed302]

How did you describe the relief for the area ?

I said there were steep slopes. It was a high mountain(446 m if I recall correctly). I also mentioned that the gradient of the slope was steady(constant). In the last few minutes I added that it was covered by a forrest(iooking back at it now I'm not sure why I wrote that as it has nothing to do with relief!)

 

[nikhil.mumbai.]

negative something

 

[Tobi Balogun]

wasnt it gently sloping as the contour line intervals were 10m ?

 

[waleed302]

wasnt it gently sloping as the contour line intervals were 10m ?

But the contours lines were really close together.

 

[kash2456]

But the contours lines were really close together.

it was steep slope! coz the contour lines were close together! so you are correct ;-)

 

[waleed302]

for the map question, when they asked you what kind of road it was, what did you guys write? i wrote "main road(A), tarred"

 

[waleed302]

i was like the only guy doing geography, seriously, the exam hall was completely empty. its nice to know that other people are in the same boat as me and are going through the same torture LOL

i just wrote main road A and i am sure its correct! ;-)
