Handy tips!!!
- Describing distribution?
> General distribution patterns (where is the majority of what you want to describe)
> Provide evidence for general pattern (give names of continents, oceans, countries or plates)
> Specific distribution patterns / anomalies (where is the minority of what you want to describe)
> Provide evidence for specific pattern (give names of continents, oceans, countries or plates)
- Annotated diagrams?
> Remember, you have to draw a large enough box (recommended size: half a page, at least
12cm by 12cm) to fit your diagram inside TOGETHER with short notes on each part of the
diagram e.g. a short note about what the mantle is like
- Comparison?
> The command word “compare” means similarities AND differences. So make sure you have
both. One compared characteristic (A1 vs. B1) counts as one point.
