Resource summary
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
