Complete the table below by shading or ticking the correct ranking for your confidence level. 1 = Not confident at all 4 = Really confident and I can prove it! Distinctive Landscapes 1 2 3 4 1. What are the key words? 2. What is a distinctive landscape? 3. What are the upland and lowland landscapes like in the UK? 4. How does geology influence the landscape of the UK? 5. How does climate influence the landscape of the UK? 6. How does human activity influence the landscape of the UK? 7. What are the geomorphic processes that affect the UK landscape? 8. What coastal landforms are caused by erosion? 9. What coastal landforms are caused by deposition? 10. What is coastal management? 11. Coastal Case Study – Hunstanton – Norfolk Coastline 12. What is a river basin? 13. What features are found along a river’s long profile? 14. River Case Study – River Tees Once you have this grid completed you will have a good idea of where you will want to focus your revision. The following booklet will help you in all areas but you will want to focus more on the areas where you are less confident in your extra revision slots Task 1 – What are the Key Words?
