Presentation Transcript

  1. Banks Peninsula Key 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

  2. 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).

  3. Step two • A description of the surface features: • Craters • Shape • Bays, coves, and harbours • Hilly landscape

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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.
