About Landscapes and Geomorphology
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The unit sits in the Physical Landscapes and Earth Processes strand of Geography. Most of the material is mind maps. The Mass Movement maps set out fast, moderate and slow movements, from rockfall and mudflow to slumping and soil creep. They also cover human interference and the features left behind, such as terracettes and fallen fence posts.
Processes of Erosion breaks down hydraulic power, cavitation and corrasion. The map on distinctive landscapes contrasts uplands such as the Grampians or Pennines with lowlands. GEOGRAPHY PAPER 2 covers UK physical landscapes, geology and relict glacial landscapes.
Where to start
- Begin with the flashcard deck LANDSCAPES. It defines what a landscape is and separates natural from human elements.
- Move to the Weathering maps and the note Physical Weathering Processes, which covers freeze-thaw and exfoliation.
- Read the Mass Movement and Processes of Erosion maps next.
- Finish with case studies, such as the Dartmoor Case Study and the Yorkshire Dales Case Study flashcards.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then test yourself. The Erosion Revision Quiz uses fill-in-the-blank questions on hydraulic action and related processes. The Geography: Landscapes of the UK quiz checks where upland areas lie across the UK. Note which answers you missed, then go back to the matching map and read that branch again.
Flashcards suit short questions and map work. LC Short questions; Pictures & Map work includes labelled features such as groynes, cliffs and tarns. Some listed resources mention GCSE Geography, so they suit school students working at that level. Teachers can pick maps and decks to share with a class.
Make it your own
Every resource was made by GoConqr users, and you can open any of them to study. Choose one topic from the list today, work through its map and quiz, and then sketch a map of your own to fill any gaps you find.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the LANDSCAPES flashcard deck, which covers what a landscape is and the difference between natural and human elements. Then move on to the Weathering maps and the Mass Movement mind map. Once you have read those, the Erosion Revision Quiz is a good first test.
What do the mass movement mind maps cover?
They sort movements into fast, moderate and slow types. Examples include rockfall, mudflow, earthflow, slumping and soil creep. They also look at factors affecting movement, human interference such as mining and quarrying, and visible features like terracettes. There is also a map on the 2006 Philippines mudslide case study.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. All the resources were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself.
Which levels and exams do these suit?
Most resources are secondary level, and some mention GCSE Geography. A small share is aimed at other levels, so check each title before you rely on it. Teachers can use the maps and decks as ready-made starting points for lessons or revision.
Are there UK case studies?
Yes. You will find a Dartmoor Case Study as both a mind map and a flashcard deck, plus a Yorkshire Dales Case Study deck. There are also notes called Physical Landscapes in the UK - Case Studies and maps on limestone landscapes and farming on Carboniferous limestone.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try nearby titles first, such as Weathering, Glaciation or Karst and Limestone, as topics overlap. If the gap remains, you can build your own mind map or flashcards on the topic. Other students and teachers can then use what you make.
