In this section, the Learning Outcomes we will look at are: 1.5, 1.10, 2.7, 2.9 Learning Checklist:
I can explain the main processes of glacial erosion – plucking, abrasion.
I can describe how the processes of glacial erosion have formed unique features on the landscape such as U-shaped valleys, cirques (corries) and truncated spurs.
I can describe how glaciers transport and deposit their load, resulting in the formation of features such as drumlins, erratics and moraines.
I can discuss how people interact with glacial landscapes using an example that I have studied.
I can read six-figure grid references and measure straight-line distance between two points on OS maps. I can identify physical features and recognise contour lines. I can identify features of glacial landscapes from photographs. I can draw a sketch map of an OS map at a scale of 1:50 000.
