Today we have started researching river landforms. You have been given one landform to research and produce an A4 revision summary. Remember, your notes need to use a DEEP format:
Describe (definition and good description of the feature)
Explain (how if forms - include processes and the sequence of formation)
Example (located example - describe where it is and something about it, eg rock type)
Picture (Annotated diagram / map)
The river landforms we are researching are:
1. Waterfalls, plunge pools and gorges (Essa and Jack)
2. Rapids and potholes (Joe and Richard)
3. Meander, oxbow lakes, pools and riffles (Darcie and Calum)
4. Floodplains and levees (Rina and Matilde)
5. Braided streams and eyots (Amie and Elishba)
6. Deltas (Daniel and Livvy)
For homework, you should research these features on the web, to find good pictures or diagrams to add to your note sheet (use google images and search for the feature or "river landforms"). You could also try one or more of the following websites for further information/detail (click on the links below):
