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.
