DESCRIPTION
Transcript
Banks PeninsulaKey surface features:• Two dominant craters, and a circular
shape. (1st)• Bays, coves, and two deep harbours (2nd) • Hilly landscape
Internal processes:• Convection currents move the plates• hot spots• Volcanic eruptions
External processes:• Volcanic activity• Weathering by water, wind, bio• Erosion of sediment and deposition• Rising Sea levels
• Three processes must be linked to the surface features for E. At least one internal and one external process is needed (last one can be either).
• One of each must be linked for M. • All info must be in the context
Step one
Find/draw a diagram (cross section) to show the three ideas:• Surface features • Internal processes• External processes Annotate this diagram (around the diagram or refer to in the report).
Step two
• A description of the surface features:• Craters• Shape• Bays, coves, and harbours• Hilly landscape
Step three
Explain the first internal process that has caused Banks peninsula to form.• Convection currents (explain how they occur)• Link this to the hot spot
Explain the second internal process: • Explain how the magma from the hot spot reaches the top
of the crust
• CONTEXT, CONTEXT – LINK TO THE SURFACE FEATURES
Step four
Explain the first internal/external process that has caused the mountain ranges to form.• What type of volcanoes formed Banks
Peninsula and why • CONTEXT, CONTEXT – LINK TO THE SURFACE
FEATURES
Step 5
Explain the first external process that has shaped Banks Peninsula• Weathering and erosion• Weathering due to water • Human impact on weathering e.g. trenches and
harbours• Impact of the sea, wave erosion• Erosion of rock due to wind and water• Flooding of the craters due to sea level change
Step 6
Explain the second external process that has impacted the appearance of the Banks peninsula.• Erosion of weathered rock• Transportation by rivers that flow down the
valleys• Deposition of sediment and its effect.
