Writing a Geography Rivers Coursework for GCSE can be a challenging task, requiring a

combination of research, analytical skills, and effective communication. Students often face
difficulties in collecting relevant data, analyzing it, and presenting their findings in a structured and
coherent manner. Here are some common challenges associated with this type of coursework:

1. Data Collection: Gathering accurate and sufficient data about rivers, their features, and the
surrounding geography can be time-consuming. It may involve fieldwork, data interpretation,
and utilization of geographical tools.
2. Analysis and Interpretation: Analyzing data to draw meaningful conclusions and
interpretations can be complex. It requires a solid understanding of geographical concepts,
statistical methods, and the ability to link findings to the coursework's objectives.
3. Structured Writing: Organizing the coursework in a logical and coherent manner is crucial.
It involves creating a clear introduction, stating objectives, presenting methodology,
analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. Maintaining a consistent writing style and structure
can be challenging for some students.
4. Time Management: Balancing coursework with other academic and personal commitments
can be demanding. Students often struggle to allocate sufficient time for research, writing,
and revisions.

For those facing challenges or time constraints, seeking assistance from professional writing services

The booklet provides support for students in planning and gathering data for fieldwork based on
changes along the course of a river. Whenever you have been asked to do your homework you would
have always felt like a fish out of water. There had been little rain in Somerset before we went on our
river study. This meant. Clast Size (cm) 5 14.7 8.4 10.3 9.9 13.1 7.8 16.7 9.2. Different people were
used on the stop watch; everyone has different reactions and would have stopped the watch
according to their judgement about when the orange had crossed the 10 metre line. The resource

friction. However Rivers are slower flowing downstream, which transfers less energy, in relation to
load sizes. Write a review Update existing review Submit review Cancel It's good to leave some
feedback. This can reduce water volume because of plants absorbing water from the river and can
lead to reducing erosion rates; this may have affected the water width at site 2. We had to do this in
the middle of the river, the left hand side and the right hand side; also we did this for all 3 sites. This
was measured by timing how long it took for an orange to travel 10 metres downstream. The depth
of the river was measured using a metre rule. I ensured that the metre rule was perpendicular to the
riverbed, and that it was pushed in sideways, so as not to create a large amount of resistance from
the water. South East England has cold winters, receiving little of the prevailing winds which blow
over the warm Atlantic Ocean waters. The resource is also suitable for other exam boards like
Edexcel and AQA as they are essentially the same. At site 4 the cross sectional area was 0.33852 m2
which was an increase from the. This would be because processes such as attrition would not have
enough time to erode pebbles. Finally we stopped the watch when the cork had finished its distance
of the 1 metre ruler, we repeated it three times each, for each site. Site 1 was upland near the surface
close to the source; Site 2 was near the middle of the river focused mainly around the meanders and
ox-bow lakes and Site 3 was at a lowland land area of the river close to the mouth. After finding the
results from the Spearman’s rank, a significance test will be used to. Flow Rate (s) 1 100 54.44 100
12.52 7.6 7.33 100 100. There are three types of sampling methods which could have been used on
this river. I was measuring at the most convenient spot for myself, this may not actually have been
the best place. Being a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI), research is undertaken here. Still
better if you turn to papershelps.com and ask us “do my homework for me.”. Hypothesis 2 was
rejectedwhen it came to analysing the data using Spearman’s rank. The middle course is less steep
when compared to the upper course.
We started the stopwatch as soon as the cork was just beside the 1 metre ruler at the beginning of it.
Reading 1 was the shallowest depth and was 0.037m. The depth then increased by. This meant that
we could not sample in this area and. This Spearman’s rank correlationgraph test tells us that 0.453 is
under a significance. This could have lead me to conclude wrongly about the hypothesis. My
hypothesis would have been answered correctly, and may well have given me a different outcome.
An investigation into how physical channel characteristics. I studied this for Edexcel, and a
colleague studied it for AQA. Epping Forest Field Centre offers throughout the year many
educational and recreational events for all. Gradient is the elevation of the river along its course. The
geology, (which is seen on page 8), at the first 3 sites was Quartzite which is a. The banks erode
downstream through hydraulic action and the load increases; this would suggest that the water width
would increase as well because of the load eroding away at the banks allowing even greater corrasion
to occur. Nowadays college and university students find themselves under great pressure. On the
whole I thought this was well done, as the precautions taken worked well. This often proves to be
helpful in learning content. Being an urban river is a problem, because the bedload could be affected
by rubbish dumped into the river (I saw a lot of rubbish in the river, such as computers, cables,
paperwork and even needles) and also affect results on river depth and silt depth. Spearman’s Rank
correlation must be undertaken to see the strength of this. The beaker is not very precise, it does not
measure to a great deal of detail, and more than one small pebble can accidentally be placed in the
beaker. Measurements 1 and 2 are the same at 0.015m and this was correct because the. So the
anomaly that I got from my results may have been due to deposition on the river bend or the banks
of the river may have started to draw into each other. One reason why the depth increased at some
sites and then decreased at others was. Write a review Update existing review Submit review Cancel

The picking up of the bedload was not random enough, and I only selected the bedload which was
nearest to the bank, this was therefore the easiest to access. I have chosen a line graph to show the
gradient of the river Holford because it is very. Quantock Hills. It is also home to Exmoor National
park which is known for its. At Site 4 the average depth was 0.093m which was larger then at the
previous site. Overall, visually, my hypothesis, that the depth will increase as you go from source to.
Average Depth 0.0122 0.1246 0.0686 0.093 0.09904 0.0812 0.0876 0.152.
This load then erodes the banks away and corrasion occurs, also more energy is gathered by the river
as confluencing tributaries join the river and water energy increases. Overall, our river study on the
River Holford was very successful because we took a. Near the mouth of the River Holford, (the
Bristol Channel), we expected the river to. It was hard to get an exact depth reading because the
water was always moving. This. However, there were problems. The day that I measured the River
Bourne, it was very windy, this meant that it was difficult to make sure that the tape measure was
straight all of the way across. To measure the size of the bedload, callipers were used to measure the
length, width and height of the pebbles. A further technique is now required to test the significance
of the relationship. The. These are the different factors that we sampled and how many we chose to
sample at. This would be because processes such as attrition would not have enough time to erode
pebbles. This resource hasn't been reviewed yet To ensure quality for our reviews, only customers

Water energy is greater downstream, but unable to transport the heavier loads in suspension, resulting
in greater deposition downstream. The questions are laid out in the same style as the real examination
to give your students an authentic exam experience (please note: this resource has not been officially

quite what you were looking for. Perhaps I should have measured the river at another time in the
year. In My conclusions I accepted my hypothesis for velocity; I did this because the majority of the
sites I measured showed an increase in velocity downstream. This would have ensured that the sites I
had chosen typified that stretch of river. Our customer service team will review your report and will

included to provide further guidance, which could be printed off for your students or used in your
department to ensure consistency in marking. It is hard to read a very small change in volume
displaced. The depth of the river was measured using a metre rule. However, at site 4, the width
decreased by 1.38m from the previous site. This method is simple and mainly foolproof, but the
problem is that the chain does not always stay on the river bed, and does not always cover all of it.
Also, the volume of the pebbles was recorded using a displacement method. Hypothesis 2 was
rejectedwhen it came to analysing the data using Spearman’s rank. Another human limitation was
that we could have taken ten measurements for every. Finally we stopped the watch when the cork
had finished its distance of the 1 metre ruler, we repeated it three times each, for each site. Desperate
with the amount of home assignments you have to complete. Water energy near the banks promotes
lateral erosion, and deposition on the inside river bend (middle stage of river), while water energy in
the middle only encourages vertical erosion. See individual resources for a more detailed breakdown.

Table. I studied this for Edexcel, and a colleague studied it for AQA. Hypothesis 2- The depth of the
river will increase as you go from source to mouth. This shows that there is a slight increase in depth
for site 2 in the M and RHS than for site 1, though the LHS had decreased in depth in site 2
compared to site 1. Reading 1 was the shallowest depth and was 0.037m. The depth then increased
by. Therefore, I would not be measuring the exact width of the river, and the result would be shorter
than the actual width, therefore making my results wrong. The River Bourne is so small it does not
have a proper middle and upper course. A purchase order number must be stated if the school
