Year 8 - Landscapes & Landforms

What is a landscape?

• is a man-made geographical feature or shape that appears on the Earth’s surface. Landforms are created and shaped by human activity

• is everything you can see when you look across an area of land, including hills, rivers, buildings, trees, and plants.

• is a natural geographical feature or shape that appears around cities

• is part of the Earth’s surface. It consists of a variety of geographical features that are characteristic of tropical areas. Landscapes are divided into two main categories – natural and microcosm.

A Riverine is?

• A riverine is a landscape formed by the natural movement of mountains.

• A riverine is a landscape formed by the natural movement of a water system such as a river.

• A riverine is a landscape formed by the natural movement of sea water.

• A riverine is a landscape formed by the natural movement of tectonic plates

How is a mountain landscape formed?

• Mountain landscapes are formed by human activity

• Mountain landscapes are formed by earthquakes

• Mountain landscapes are formed by tectonic plates on the Earth’s surface pushing against each other.

• Mountain landscapes are formed by erosion

A desert is?

• A desert is defined as an area of land which receives no more than 1 millimetre of rain per year.

• A desert is defined as an area of land which was the result of erosion

• A desert is defined as an area of land which receives no rain

• A desert is defined as an area of land which receives no more than 25 millimetres of rain per year.

A coastal landscape is?

• The coast is where a land mass meets the sea

• The coast is where a land mass meets the Nile River

• The coast is where a land mass meets fresh water

• The coast is where a land mass meets the Southern Ocean

Tropical rainforests are?

• lush forests which can only be found in northern Queensland

• lush forests which can be found along side deserts

• lush forests which can be found near the arctic circle

• lush forests which can be found along the Equator

How is a karst landscape formed?

• A karst landscape is formed as a result of human activity, such as mining

• A karst landscape is formed through erosion caused by acidic water from an underground source wearing away dissolvable bedrock

• A karst landscape is formed when easily dissolvable bedrock is worn away by rising sea levels

• A karst landscape is formed when easily dissolvable bedrock is worn away by wind and rain

What are natural landscapes?

• Natural landscapes (for example, mountains and deserts) are mainly unaffected by evasive species

• Natural landscapes (for example, mountains and deserts) are mainly unaffected by human activity

• Natural landscapes are made by humans but from natural materials mainly

• Natural landscapes (for example, mountains and deserts) only exist in central Asia

How are built landscapes created?

• Built landscapes are created by humans during the 19th century

• Built landscapes are created by humans.

• Built landscapes are created by humans in order to preserve natural landscapes

• Built landscapes are created by the building up over millions of years of small rocks
