hit me up!
from the top of my head (havent done much revision lol)

- the source of the river is usually on high ground (upper course) - there is a high steep gradient. there is low discharge, velocity. threre is very shallow water
- in the middle course you can find meanders and ox bow lacks - there is lots of lateral erosion
in the lower course of the river the sedimement is quite fine and small due to erosion and transportation. there is a high dichage, velosity and depth. the river is quite wide here and may join to sea area. there is however now a very low gradient

corrosion is the dissolving of rocks and minerals
attrition is the gradual wearing down of rock materials
abrasion is when rocks rub aginst the beds and banks of the river and wears them away

the river gets wider and flatter downstream because of river erosion

waterfalls are formed because the soft rock underneath the hard rock erodes.


erm leeves are natural embankmetns and can help stop flooding
thanks and good luck on your exams, off to do mine! :u:

Hey, I was rushing the whole exam because I got stuck on the skills section when they asked to label features x, y and z on the cross section. I saw a tweet which said thankyou edexcel for the 6 marker on natural causes of climate change and I didn't see that question. Did that question come up on our test or did I just read something about another specifications exam. I hope I didn't miss a page😱
What did you guys write for the first question?

I had no idea what to write for the rainforest management question so i just wrote some rubbish
For an attitude to climate change, could you talk about how one attitude is that we need to reduce carbon dioxide levels to reduce climate change?

I put Church Stretton but I feel like that was too obvious. What did you put for the distance and the answers for the cross section? Did we need to draw a line of best fot for the scatter graph?
