Good luck to anyone else who sits Enviro. today

[n.f]

Good luck, is anyone else actually doing it as a subject?

[leadbeaters]

Yep, how'd you go

[n.f]

Don't think I did too badly. Kind of hard to know with so many 3-4 mark questions but answered everything so that's a nice start, you?

[amanda bob]

i got the hydropower question wrong!!

[leadbeaters]

which hydroelectric question was that? there were quite a few multis on it

Yea I found it ok - the last question about the fencing off the cattle from the grass thingo sort of caught me off guard a bit, had to crap on a bit there but it was quality 'enviro crap' using all the terminology and examiners love that stuff. Should get me a few marks.

But your right, its hard to tell.
What did you guys get for the natural gas multiple choice
The one about "where should the plant be located" or something - it had to do with pipes

I put "The plant should be located right next to the gas source" as did a few others... but others have put "The plant should be located near Melbourne"

i chose C for the natural gas question, apparently it was between C and D..

[amanda bob]

The hydropower one, q9, about whether it is low efficiency etc.... i said high sustainability because water is used for irrigation... which is wrong...
oh yeah. that natural gas one where it should be located,,, i had to use process of elimination...

the multiple choice was a lot worse than other years i thought!!!

What option was C?

[n.f]

I chose the one nearest to Melbourne because of power line losses being greater than gas losses in the pipe or whatever it was. Last question was just annoying thankfully I'm used to experimental design style questions from bio practice exam questions. I said hydropower is sustainable because of use in irrigation, oh well

I can't exactly remember what I put but I'm pretty sure for that question (Why isn't hydropower used more widely), I put that there isnt enough water in general

Ahhh, I was tossing up between that and another - Chose the other

[RachaelM]

option c was something like the gas loses energy while traveling through the pipes..
and for the hydropower i chose that it was sustainable because of the use in irrigation.
did anyone else not finish it? i left a 2 mark question because i ran out of time!

Enviro exams are usually long - I looked up and saw there was 20 minutes to go so I started rushing - I just finished...

[RachaelM]

actually i think im confusing myself with the hydropower question..
if its the question that asked something about SA (out of memory:S) i just said it circled that it couldnt be sustained due to lack of water.
