More Information on our Geography Grinds

Leaving Cert Geography is not about essays and waffle-like many students think. Chief examiners require what are called SRPs (Significant Relevant Points). These are what dictate the marking scheme and are the key to unlocking this subject. By the end of these Leaving Cert Geography grinds, you will have multiple essays with 15 SRPs in each. You will receive a pull-out sheet at the end of each Geography essay in which you can write your 15 SRPs using the notes and a trigger-word section.

Leaving Cert Geography Topics covered are:

- Plate Tectonics
- Earthquakes & Volcanoes
- Folding & Faulting
- The Rock Cycle
- Weathering
- Karst Landscapes
- Landform Development
- Human Interaction with Surface Processes
- Map Reading
- Aerial Photograph
- Regional Case Studies
