Geography A-Level has nothing to do with labelling places (though I think I did once trace a map of Africa from the question paper to the answer booklet and name all the countries, as I was bored and had time at the end to burn).
It's about understanding patterns and processes and build up over time, not the isolation of single events.

It was simply a needless loss of concentration - the waves were only hitting at 2.5-a-minute, which is a quite adequate rate. The sea should take no credit in its collapse.
