Lesson 15a what landforms are formed by geomorphological
1. 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).
5. 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)
