Hodder A Level Geography Topic Master: Glaciated Landscapes

Copyright Year:2019 | ISBN-13: 9781510427914

Published:25/01/2019
Master the in-depth knowledge and higher-level skills that A-level Geography students need to succeed; this focused topic book extends learning far beyond your course textbooks.

Blending detailed content and case studies with questions, exemplars and guidance, this book:

- Significantly improves students' knowledge and understanding of A-level content and concepts, providing more coverage of Glaciated Landscapes than your existing resources

- Strengthens students' analytical and interpretative skills through questions that involve a range of geographical data sources, with guidance on how to approach each task

- Demonstrates how to evaluate issues, with a dedicated section in every chapter that shows how to think geographically, consider relevant evidence and structure a balanced essay

- Equips students with everything they need to excel, from additional case studies and definitions of key terminology, to suggestions for further research and fieldwork ideas for the Independent Investigation

- Helps students check, apply and consolidate their learning, using end-of-chapter refresher questions and discussion points, plus tailored advice for the AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC/Eduqas specifications

- Offers trusted and reliable content, written by a team of highly experienced senior examiners and reviewed by academics with unparalleled knowledge of the latest geographical theories

CONTENTS

Chapter 1: Glaciers and glaciated landscapes as systems
1.1 The glacial system
1.2 Glacier movement
1.3 Landforms and landscape systems
1.4 Feedback and equilibrium in glaciated landscape systems
1.5 Evaluating the issue: Assessing the relative importance of energy sources in the glaciated landscape system

Chapter 2: The range of glacial environments and their distribution
2.1 Classification of ice masses
2.2 Past distribution of ice masses
2.3 Present day distribution of ice masses
2.4 Evaluating the issue: To what extent do different types of ice mass produce different glaciated landscapes?

Chapter 3: Processes and landforms of glacial erosion
3.1 The factors influencing glacial erosion
3.2 Processes of glacial erosion and weathering
3.3 Landforms of glacial erosion
3.4 Evaluating the issue: Evaluate the extent to which erosional processes are the main factor in the formation of the characteristic features of cirques

Chapter 4: Processes and landforms of glacial deposition
4.1 Processes of glacial and fluvioglacial transport
4.2 Processes of glacial and fluvioglacial deposition
4.3 Landforms of glacial and fluvioglacial deposition
4.4 Evaluating the issue: Assess the relative importance of water and ice in the development of landscapes of glacial deposition

Chapter 5: Periglacial processes and landforms
5.1 Periglacial climates and environments
5.2 Ground ice formation and associated features
5.3 Landforms associated with freeze-thaw cycles and mass movement
5.4 Periglacial landforms associated with the action of water and wind
5.5 Evaluating the issue: Assess the role of water in the development of periglacial landforms

Chapter 6: The evolution of glacial landforms and landscapes in relation to past, present and future climate change
6.1 Glacial processes and patterns over different spatial and temporal scales
6.2 Glacial landforms and landscapes driven by past and present climate change
6.3 Glacial landforms and landscapes driven by predicted future climate change
6.4 Evaluating the issue: To what extent are periglacial landscapes more vulnerable to climate change than glaciated landscapes?

Chapter 7: Human activity and glaciated landscape systems
7.1 Impacts on glacial processes and landforms on human activity and responses
7.2 Human activities and their impacts on glacial processes, landforms and landscapes
7.3 Human responses of resilience, mitigation and adaptation in glaciated landscapes
7.4 Human activities and their impacts on periglacial processes, landforms and landscapes
7.5 Human responses of resilience, mitigation and adaptation in periglacial landscapes
7.6 Evaluating the issue: To what extent has human activity resulted in change within glaciated landscape systems
