| Question | Answer |
| Tarn Glacial erosion Contour lines packed tight on 3 sides. Colour darker on 3 sides. 4th side contours are spaced. Colour is lighter. | |
| Glacial erosion Plucking & Abrasion Start of Glacier Depression with 3 steep sides & 1 open With a lake = tarn Without lake = Corrie/cirque | |
| Ox Bow Lakes Horse shoe shape lake. Cut off meander. | |
| Levee Raised banks of earth beside the river channel. Spot heights and contour lines show them. Old stage of river. | |
| V shape valley & waterfall Found in mountains. Brown color Tightly packed contour lines Contour lines make "V shape" Waterfalls may be labelled | |
| Arete Glacial erosion Thin piece of high ground that separates one corrie/tarn from another. Contours packed tightly. Brown color. | |
| Ribbon lakes AKA Paternoster lakes Glacial erosion Plucking & Abrasion Found in U shape valley floor (Green). Steep sides (Tight contours & Brown colour) Lakes connected by a River Trellised Drainage pattern | |
| Drumlins Glacial Deposition Small hills dotting the land. Submerged in Clew Bay Spot height will show change in height. | |
| Flood plain River deposition Old stage of Rivers Green color nearest river channel. Widely spaced contour lines. Spot heights show height. Flat land. | |
| Sea cliff Coastal deposition Light/brown color. Tightly packed contour lines. Spot heights. Near sea/ocean | |
| Lagoon & Sand Bar Bar: Strip of land that covers off a bay. Lagoon: Water trapped behind the sand bar. Land here is salt marsh as the water dries up. | |
