Eduqas GCSE Geography A Theme 1 Landscapes and Physical Processes overview quiz quiz

They are made of hard, resistant rock that stands high

They are made of soft rock that is very easily worn down and eroded

They have the warmest and the driest climate found anywhere in the UK

They were never affected by human activity such as farming or quarrying

Population size, regional wealth and local politics

Geology, climate and human activity

Latitude, longitude and the altitude of the land

Only the tides, the ocean currents and the winds

They are exactly the same process under two different names

Weathering only ever happens at the coast where the waves hit the cliffs

Weathering breaks rock in place; erosion wears it away and removes it

Erosion only ever happens deep underground, far below the surface

Plunge pool forms first, then a gorge, then an overhang, then a final big collapse

Deposition builds up, then a levee, then a meander, and finally a gorge appears

Hard rock dissolves much faster than the soft rock lying beneath it does

Soft rock eroded under hard rock, undercutting, plunge pool, collapse and retreat

On the outside of the bend

On the inside of the bend, where the flow is slowest

Only right at the source, high up the river

Evenly across the whole width of the channel

Stack first, then arch, then cave, then crack

Crack, cave, arch, stack, stump

Arch first, then stack, then crack, then cave

Cave first, then stack, then arch, then crack

Constructive waves erode beaches; destructive waves build them up

They are identical and there is no real difference between the two

Constructive waves build beaches; destructive waves erode them

Constructive waves only ever happen at night, never during the day

Straight out to sea, away from the beach and the shore

Only during storms, moving sediment straight towards the cliff

Vertically up and down the beach in the same place each time

In a zig-zag, in the direction of the prevailing wind

The time between peak rainfall and peak discharge

The time from the start of rain to the end of rain

The total volume of water in the river

The width of the river channel

It increases infiltration of water down into the soil and bedrock

Impermeable surfaces and drains speed runoff to the river

It reduces the total amount of rainfall that falls on the area

It slows water down on its way to the river, lengthening lag time

Building a large concrete flood wall along the bank

Straightening the channel to move water away faster

Floodplain zoning and river restoration

Building a large dam across the river to hold water back

They work in harmony with all the natural coastal processes

They need no maintenance at all once they have been built

They are always by far the cheapest coastal option available

They starve the coast further down-drift of sediment
