GCSE GEOGRAPHY EDEXCEL B PAPER 2 EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS VERIFIED 100%
CORRECT!!
Plucking - Answer - Freezing onto surface, removing sediment
Abrasion - Answer - Clean valley floors with embedded sediment
Describe freeze-thaw weathering - Answer - Water freezing, expanding, splitting rock
Define deposition in the context of glaciers. - Answer - It is when sediment is left behind
as a glacier retreats, creating landforms.
Sedimentary rocks - Answer - Eroded particles forming rock over time e.g, limestone
How are igneous rocks formed? - Answer - Formed by cooling magma, e.g., granite
Metamorphic rocks - Answer - Formed from existing rock changing shape e.g, marble
Upland areas - Answer - Regions with resistant rocks, U-shaped valleys
Lowland areas - Answer - Regions with less resistant rocks, dip slopes
Concordant coastlines - Answer - Parallel rock layers protecting inland rock
Discordant coastlines - Answer - Alternating rock types causing erosion differences
What are hanging valleys? - Answer - Formed by glacial erosion and post-glacial rivers
Outwash plains - Answer - Areas formed by glacial deposition
Dip slopes - Answer - Gentle slopes following rock folds
Headlands - Answer - Areas of harder rock protruding into the sea
Bays - Answer - Areas of softer rock eroded by the sea
Wave cut notch - Answer - Erosion between high and low water marks
Wave cut platform - Answer - Flat rocky area left after cliff retreats inland
Prevailing winds - Answer - Dominant wind direction affecting wave strength
Destructive waves - Answer - High waves eroding beach material and cliffs
