Resumen del Recurso
PHYSICAL LANDSCAPES IN THE UK
UK Physical Landscape
RELIEF = the height, steepness +shape of the landscape. = determained by geology
LANDSCAPE = result from the interaction between natural / physical factors
IN THE UK = N/W = upland more resistnat rock. = S/E = lowland weaker rocks.
Coastal Landscapes in the UK
Constructive / Destructive
CONSTRUCTIVE WAVE = formed by a storm often hundreds of km away. common in summer
DESTRUCTIVE WAVE = formed by local storms close to the coast. common in winter
How a wave is formed
WEATHERING = the weakening / decay of rock due to the actions of weather, plants and animals
MECHANICAL (physical) = the disintegration of rock
eg: Freeze-thaw
CHEMICAL = caused by chemical changes
eg: Carbonation
BIOLOGICAL = caused by the actions of flora and fauna
eg. plants roots grow in rocks / animals burrow into weak rocks
TYPES OF MASS MOVEMENT = downward movement (sliding) of weathered material and rock
Deposition - occurs when water slows down and waves lose their energy
COASTAL EROSION
Solution - Dissolving of soluble chemicals in rock
Corrasion - rocks fragments picked up by the sea are thrown at the cliff. they scrape and wear away the rock
Abrasion - the "sandpapering" effect of pebbles grinding over a rocky plateform
Attrition - rocks fragments carried by the sea knock against each other becoming smaller / more rounded
Hydraulic action - the power of the waves as they hit a cliff. trapped air is forced into cracks in the rock, eventually causing it to break up
Erosion Landforms
Factor 1 = ROCK TYPE - some rocks are harder / softer than other so easier to erode
Factor 2 = GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE - the way the rocks has been folded / tilted. Faults (cracks) form lines of weakness.
Transportation
Longshore Drift - the movement depends on the direction that waves approch the coast sue to prevailing wind direction
Deposition Landforms
SANDY beeches - mainly found in sheltered bays and are created by conservative waves
Along high-energy coast sand is washed away leaving behind a PEBBLE beech
