2. 2Influence of [blank_start]CLIMATE[blank_end] on landforms/landscape
   In the upper course, [blank_start]precipitation[blank_end] exceeds evapotranspiration (more than 2000mm of precipitation)
   The bedrock is [blank_start]impermeable[blank_end] and the river Tees collects a lot of water via surface run-off. [blank_start]Increases[blank_end] erosion.
   The upper course characterised by [blank_start]freeze-thaw[blank_end] weathering particularly in the winter due to temperatures fluctuating above and below 0°C.
