  • Learning Objective: to Find out About the Hills and Mountains of the UK
    The United Kingdom Learning Objective: To find out about the hills and mountains of the UK. www.planbee.com NEXT What is the difference between a hill and a mountain? Think, pair, share your ideas. BACK www.planbee.com NEXT The difference between a hill and a mountain is not always clear and there is no set definition for the difference. Hills are generally smaller than mountains. Mountains are usually steeper than hills too and have a distinct summit. Mountain Hill Did you know that the elevation of hills and mountains is measured from sea level? BACK www.planbee.com NEXT There are several different ways in which mountains can be formed. The Earth’s crust is made up of different slabs called tectonic plates. Over millions of years these plates move. When two plates collide they fold over each other, like a car crash collision, and rock is pushed upwards. This type of mountain is called a ‘fold mountain’ and is the most common form of mountain. BACK www.planbee.com NEXT Another type of mountain are ‘dome mountains’. These occur when the pressure from lots of hot magma under the Earth’s crust pushes the earth upwards into a dome without the magma pushing through the surface. BACK www.planbee.com NEXT Volcanos are also mountains. Volcanos are caused when magma (hot melted rock) erupts through the centre of the volcano and the lava cools in a cone shape. Volcanos are built up when layers of cooled lava turn to rock which build on top of each other over time.

  • Barber & Gallon, 2020
    Bulletin of the British Myriapod & Isopod Group Volume 32 (2020) Upland centipedes in North Wales with a review of the Welsh Chilopoda Anthony D. Barber1 and Richard Gallon2 1 7 Greenfield Drive, Ivybridge, Devon, PL21 0UG. Email: [email protected] 2 23a Roumania Crescent, Llandudno, North Wales, LL30 1UP. Email: [email protected] Abstract Since Eason’s (1957) paper on centipedes from Carnarvonshire there has been an accumulation of centipede records from various parts of Wales but relatively few are from upland areas. Recent records from Snowdonia included several species, including Lithobius (Monotarsobius) curtipes, from locations up to around 1,000m. We present a review of centipedes recorded from the 13 Welsh vice-counties which includes 41 species, 4 of which are from buildings or heated greenhouses, 4 apparently obligate halophiles from coastal sites and one doubtful. Wales has a variety of types of habitat including both lowland and montane rural areas and urban/industrial/post-industrial locations which no doubt contributes to the diversity of its chilopod fauna. Introduction The centipede Lithobius curtipes is not known in Britain from large numbers of past records, indeed in his Cotteswold paper of 1953, E.H. Eason (Eason, 1953) had referred to his record from Kildanes Scrubs, Gloucestershire in 1952 as only the third British record. The finding of it by RG at around 1,000m in Snowdonia, along with Lithobius variegatus and Strigamia acuminata at similar heights, prompted us to look at the occurrence of upland centipedes in North Wales and in Wales in general and to review the species recorded from the principality.

  • Notes on the Geology of the English Lake District
    449 NOTES ON THE GEOLOGY OF THE ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT. By]. E. MARR, M.A., F.R.S. (Rlad July 6tlr, I,OO.) A.-INTRODUCTION. HE Council of your Association has done me the honour of T inviting me to act as Director of an excursion to Lakeland in the course of the summer. In these circumstances, as I have been engaged in studying the geology of the district for many years, and have arrived at certain conclusions which have not hitherto been published, I may be pardoned if I incorporate among notes which may serve to give some idea of the general structure of the district, a summary of such conclusions; especially as, in my opinion, a knowledge of them is requisite to a right understanding of the actual structure. For several seasons I have had the pleasure of working in Cumbria with my colleague, Mr. Alfred Harker. Many of the facts and conclusions recorded in this paper are the result of this joint work, and my colleague shares with me the credit for any records which may be of value. I shall endeavour in the paper to point out clearly such portions as must be regarded as the joint work of Mr. Harker and myself. I have obtained his permission to give this brief preliminary outline of the results of our work, and should any errors be found therein I ask that I alone may be considered responsible for them. It is well-known that the heart of Lakeland is composed of Lower Palseozoic rocks, and that around these is a girdle of later deposits of Carboniferous, Permian, and Triassic ages.

  • Geology in Borrowdale
    Geology Situated on the boundary between the Ordovician Skiddaw Group and the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, Derwentwater Independent Hostel is perfectly located for studying the oldest rocks in the Lake District. We have 500 million years of geological history on our doorstep! The Skiddaw Group lies to the north of the hostel, while to the south you will see the craggier terrain of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group. You will also be able to study evidence of former glacial activity in Borrowdale, mainly in the form of depositional features. There are lots of old mines and quarries in Borrowdale and the adjoining valleys, and many Regionally Important Geological/Geomorphological Sites (RIGS). A very useful introduction to the geology of Cumbria and the surrounding area: http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/conservation/geodiversity/englan ds/counties/area_id7.aspx The Cumberland Geological Society: http://www.cumberland-geol-soc.org.uk/ We have several useful Geology books in our library, including: Lakeland Rocks and Landscape: a Field Guide by The Cumberland Geological Society, and The Rocks and Landscape of the Keswick Area by Alan Smith. We also have books about the history of Honister Slate Mine, Borrowdale graphite, and Cumbrian coal mining. Local issues of geological relevance include underground nuclear waste disposal, treatment of water from the disused Force Crag Mine, and stability of the St Bees headland and adjacent coastline. The only published Geological Survey map of the area is sheet 54N 04W at the 1: 250 000 scale.

  • North West England & Isle of Man: Climate
    North West England & Isle of Man: climate This describes the main features of the climate of Cheshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cumbria, part of North Yorkshire and the Isle of Man. The eastern boundary of the region lies along the watershed of the Pennines. There are several distinct geographical areas within the region. Much of the area west of the Pennines from Lancashire southwards forms part of a plain, mainly below 150 metres, with westward draining rivers such as the Mersey, Ribble and Lune. Liverpool and Manchester are the main centres of population. To the east, the Pennines are a chain of rolling gritstone moors rising to well over 600 metres and reaching their highest point at Cross Fell (893 metres). The Pennines form a natural barrier to east-west communications, but there are the Tyne gap linking Carlisle and Newcastle and the Aire gap linking Lancashire and Yorkshire. The Lake District in Cumbria includes Scafell Pike (978 metres), the highest mountain in England, and Windermere, the largest lake. To the north and NE, there is further low ground (below 60 metres) in the Vale of Eden and the Solway Plain, close to Carlisle. Most of the Isle of Man consists of a central mountain mass rising to 621 metres on Snaefell. Douglas is the main town and the centre of the island's tourist industry. The range of topography and altitude found in both NW England and the Isle of Man provide a climate of great variety, and the region includes both the coldest place in England (Cross Fell in the Pennines) and the wettest place in England (the Lakeland fells around Seathwaite in Cumbria).

  • Alston Cycle Route: Cross Fell (Mountain Bike Ride)
    Alston Cycle Route: Cross Fell (Mountain Bike Ride) Cross Fell and its near neighbour Great Dun Fell are ringed by an amazing network of high- level bridleways. They cross wild and exposed moorland and reach a considerable height making them the highest mountain bike routes in England, outside the Lake District. These routes are not for the fainthearted, particularly first timers to the area as they cross high and exposed moorland, and the distances and height gain involved in completing a loop are considerable. The best introduction to the style of riding they offer is to tackle an out and back ride up the bridleway that climbs to the northern shoulder of Cross Fell from the lovely village of Garrigill. There is a fair amount of height to gain on this route but it is achieved over eleven kilometres which gives most of the climbs a moderate and mostly cycle-able gradient. The majority of the riding is along access track which is stony but wellmaintained, with the balance being on stony single track and a final short section on open fell side. The climb is mitigated by superb wide ranging views and interesting old mine workings passed on the way up. The descent is world class and gives long and fast bursts interspersed with cruising freewheels. There are a couple of rock garden sections to deal with through the old mine workings, and some drainage channels to negotiate, but mostly the technicalities are at the softer end of the range. Remember to always stick to the bridleways as this is a conservation area.
