8 December, 2014 What landforms are formed by geomorphological processes?

1. What is this feature? (1)

2. Which stage of the river is it likely to be found? Refer to evidence from

the image.(2)

3. Describe two processes that would have formed this feature. (4).

4. Explain one transportation process that may be found here (3).

2. Rivers activity B

Wednesday 10th Workshop in S2

Vertical Eroison

1. Gorge.2. Upper stage (1) of the river as there is vertical

erosion (1) as there is steep land (1)3. Hydraulic Action (1) where the force of the

water is wearing away the rock (1) Abrasion (a) where the rocks and pebbles being transported by the river wear away the bed and banks of the river (1) Solution (1) where the rock is being dissolved by the chemicals contained din the water (1)

4. There is a high amount of energy in the river (1) so that saltation (1) is likely to be found in this river which means that small particles are bounced along the river bed. (1)
