How did you study for paper 2? I just used past papers.
If you found paper 1 easy i think you'll find paper 2 easier. Paper 1 is supposed to be the hardest paper.

i think its the whole portion.. i mean all the syllabus content can be used when preparing questions for p2 .Just study the instruments , stuff about coral reefs and types of settlements.They frequently come.Just study it enough so that you can easily identify stuff

I just got the survey maps today, so I'm kind of struggling with it, but the rest is a piece of cake ;p

Oh and if anybody could help me with this one thing: paper2 oct/nov 2006, question 1) f)? They ask something about gradient and I really don't get it :/

to find the gradient = Difference in height/distance*100
they shd give you two heights and you have to find the distance obviously

lol, the question goes: the conveyor starts at 1300m above sea level and falls to 760m above sea level. Calculate the average gradient if the conveyor. Then they ask for the
horizontal distance (?)
difference in height         and
gradient=1 in .......(?)

diff in height = 1300-760 = 540
For the horizontal distance find the distance between the two points, using the scale at the bottom for kilometers
1 km = 1000 meters
and for the gradient just use the formula i told you abt -diff in height/total distance between two points * 100
check the markscheme to see if you are doing it right..

About the Scale, they usually give you either  1:50,000  or 1:25,000
My teacher said something about converting it to metres but i forgot :-\
Or do you just use that other scale at the bottom? I don't know how to use it  :o

They say 2 cm is 1 km (one grid square)...
Then we gotta change to metres?? I'm confused lol

2cm:1km=1000m=100000cm
2cm:100000cm
1:50000
you cpuld divide any map measurement in cm by 2 to get the real distance in km or times the real measurement in km by 2 to get the map measurement in cm

I'm kind of freaking out right now about finding the gradient on a map because my teacher told me that when you measure the straight line distance on a map, it gives you the hypotenuse of the triangle. Therefore, to find out the gradient, you would have to use Pythagorus' theorum to find the horizontal distance. Personally, I think that sounds completely wrong, because OS maps don't take contours into account when mapping distance. Can anybody help me - does the straight line distance = the horizontal distance between two points, or is it equal to the hypotenuse?
I don't know if any of that made sense...

your teacher sounds retarded :p
to find the horizontal distance between two points just use the scale given below the map (0-1 km) km is less than a mile and equal to 1000 meters.Just mark it on ur ruler or a piece of paper and measure the distance your self.
oh and remember give the answer in meters.
