Glaciation









Well as we are just about to start the lithosphere section of the work some photos for you to see from our summer geography teacher's visit to Iceland. ( Wonderful place if you get the chance to go !).

Some glaciation revision - think about how glaciers form. Go over in your head the inputs, processes and outputs of a glacial system.Can you repeat our famous 12 points re the formation of a corrie ? Kung fu glaciation might help - get active ! Can you draw diagrams to explain the formation of 3 erosive and 3 depositional features ?
On the third picture look for the people to give you an idea of scale - some glaciers are HUGE !

Fieldwork









Well done on your enthusiasm and good fieldwork skills. I hope you enjoyed the weekend, although it was hard work. A few photos for you to see - the rest I will show you in class later.

Lake District




Mrs Ch took these glaciation photos whilst in the Lake District this holiday - can you recognise the features and explain how they are formed ? Blea water and Windermere.

Can you remember kung fu glaciation ? - it may help
