Welcome to Water on the Land - A Unit 1 Topic!

 

1.  The Drainage Basin

 

Sketch or find a diagram of the drainage basin - read page 80 and watch this clip

 - annotate it to show the features of a drainage basin:

 

  • Watershed
  • Source
  • Tributary
  • Confluence
  • Mouth

 

The River Severn, from source to mouth - a quick journey to watch!  Can you name the source, a tributary and the mouth of the Severn - add this detail to your work.

 

2. River Processes 

 

There are 4 processes of erosion you must know

Use the boardworks powerpoint to help you learn them (open it from the front page of the GEOG website via FROG)

Write definitions - using page 82 to help you

  • Hydraulic Action
  • Abrasion

  • Attrition

The river uses these processes of erosion to shape the landscape it flows through - the DIRECTION of erosion can be VERTICAL or LATERAL - see page 80 to explain where these operate along the course of a river.
