upland (the lake district)

What 2 physical processes resulted in The Lake District’s landscape?

1. Post-glacial river processes — marketed glaciers deposited material and created landforms

2. Weathering and slope processes — TLD is cold so more prone to freeze thaw weathering

2 human processes which resulted in TLD’s landscape + why?

1. Tourism — altered natural terrain due to construction of roads, leading to erosion + pollution

2. Quarrying — large quarry sites changed the terrain

How did it result from post-glacial river processes?

• TLD was once covered in glaciers which carved the landscape into deep U-shaped valleys

• Over time, the valleys filled up with water to form lakes which flow through the valley (misfit rivers)

How did it result from weathering and slope processes?

• The slopes surround TLD are covered in angular rocks called scree

• These landscapes have been crated by freeze-thaw weathering which causes rocks to break off the rock face

• TLD is one of the wettest areas in the country which leads to frequent landslides
