Higher - Revision for NAB Part II

Here is a framework of things which you will need to know for the upcoming NAB on Rural Land Resources -

  • how glacial features such as corries, u-shaped valleys and ribbon lakes are formed
  • be familiar with glacial processes eg. plucking, abrasion and freeze-thaw
  • discuss which land uses are best suited to glaciated upland areas
  • identify land use and features from an OS map (and give map evidence)
  • explain the role of a National Park and other organisations involved in the upkeep of areas of glaciated scenery
  • outline the main possible land use conflicts which may arise in a National Park/glaciated upland area
  • suggest solutions to the above conflicts and comment on their usefulness
  • link all of the above to a studied area eg. the Lake District and give named examples of features, towns and groups involved in the area
