UNIT 2 - Physical Landscape

Which rock type are formed from sediments that have settled at the bottom of a lake, sea or ocean, and have been compressed over millions of years?

• Metamorphic

• Sedimentary

• Igenous

Which rock type is formed by magma when it erupts and then cools?

• igneous

• metapmorphic

• sedimentary

How are igneous / sedimentary rocks changed into metamorphic rocks?

• chemical reaction

• weathering

• erosion

• heat / pressure

What type of rock dominates the North / West of the UK?

• flat, softer sedimentary rocks

• old and hard igneous and metamorphic rocks

What is the relief like in the South of the UK?

• hilly

• high relief

• low - lying and flat

• mountainous

What is the name of the line that divides the north / west of the UK (dominated by old and hard igneous and metamorphic rocks), and the south / east of the UK (dominated by younger sedimentary rocks)?

• Severn Exe line

• Tyne Exe line

• Tees Exe line

• Wear Exe line

Which 80 metre high piece of limestone rock have we studied in Yorkshire Pennines?

• Malham Cove

• Palham Cove

Why is Malham Cove so high?

• it's made of less resistant rock

• it's made of soft rock

• it's made of Carboniferous limestone, which is relatively resistant to erosion

• it's made of chalk, which is less resistant to erosion

How is Malham Cove made of tropical rocks but is located in Yorkshire?

• Britain used to be located within the tropics and was fully underwater for hundreds of millions of years. During this time, shells of marine creatures were deposited and have formed the Carboniferous limestone found at Malham Cove

• Malham cove used to be a waterfall which created the tropical rocks

What does it mean if an area has been glaciated?

• A river has passed through it

• A glacier has passed through it

• there has never been a glacier in that area

• a glacier has never affected this area
