Glaciation: Glacial Erosional Landforms
<p>AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the latest specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at the types of erosional landforms you find in glaciated landscapes.</p>
<p>The starter is just a quick coast-themed retrieval practice quiz which has been left blank so you can add your own questions.</p>
<p>We start by looking at the erosive power of glaciers and how corries form in highland areas. The pupils create a sequential diagram to show how a corrie forms from small nivation hollows. We then look at aretes and pyramidal peaks with examples of each and then look at how erosion has created a variety of further highland erosional features when the pupils annotate a diagram of a highland glaciated area. We finish with a 6 mark GCSE-style exam question with guidance on how to answer it. The lesson also uses some video clips to help the pupils visualise these features.</p>
<p>Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.</p>
