distinctive landscapes
- landscapes
- visible features,
make up
surface of land
- natural
(physical) and
man made
factors
- uplands, eg
Grampians or
Pennines, N
and W,
mountainous
- lowlands,
flat/rolling,
eg Cotswolds
and S Downs,
S
- geology
- permeability
and hardness
- eg Chalk
or
Granite
- glaciation
- scoured landscapes/
wear away
- eg. Lake district,
N and wales
- Arétes, pyramid
peaks, corries
- climate and weathering
- uplands, more weathering. high
precipitation, freezing temps =
rivers, erosion. landslips/rockfalls.
- mech =
freze-thaw,
chem = acid,
bio = root
- erosion
- geomorphic,
hydraulic, attrition,
solution, abrasion
- transportation
- suspension, traction,
saltation, solution deposition.
- Holderness Coastline
- Discordant (perpendicular) =
headlands and bays/ Flamborough,
Selwick's (differential erosion)
- chalk and till/boulder clay
- caves, arches, stacks,
stumps
- hydraulic, abrasion
weathering
- spit, Spurn head
- Yorkshire coast, 4.8km (3miles)
long from Humber Estuary
- longshore drift
(shingle/sediment)
- climate
- warmer summer =bio
weathering, stormy winters =
erosion, winter =freeze thaw
- human activity
- Hornsea = Groynes stop
longshore
- Eastington = Rock Armour, absorb
wave enrrgy
- Mappleton = 2x
rock groynes,
- Withernsea = groynes + sea wall,
reflect waye energy,
- River Tees
- influence of climate
- upper = pre > evapo
+2000mm impermeable bed,
runoff + erosion
- upper = Freeze-thaw
- influence of Goemorphic
- waterfall = High Force. igneous
dolerite carboniferous limestone
(hydraulic, abrasion) 700m gorge
- Meander = Yarm (mid)
differential erosion, river
cliff, slip off slope
- Ox Bow lake = Hydraulic +
abrasion, narrow neck, flood,
break, cut off
- Floodplain = low, floods,
friction, deposition,
alluvium builds up
- Levées = croft-on-tees low,
floods, deposition
- influence of human
activity
- Cow green Reservoir
1967-1971, supply industry
on Teesside, regulation,
released
- Yarm flood defence, in
Meander bend, £2.1m Defence
system, hydro and abrasion
- dredging, improves
navigation, deep water
channel, increase discharge,
more erosion/ transportation
- cutting meanders, faster,
more erosion/transportation
