Week 2
Land from and landscapes
What is a landscape?
A landscape is part of the earths surface. It has a variety of geographical features that are characteristics of an area.

What is a land form?
A landform is a natural geographic feature or shape that appears on the earths surface, large landforms include mountains, plains, and rivers while small landforms include hills and billabongs. Landforms are shaped and created by a natural process, such as tectonic activity and erosion. Natural landscapes are made up of a variety of landforms. often landforms are not unique to a single landscape. For example, a hill can be found in many landscapes.
Mapping
Types of maps
Dot distribution maps
Dot distribution maps use dots to show a range of different features. The dots show the location of a chosen place.
Flow maps
Flow maps show movement from one place to another. Arrows or different thickness or colours are used to locate were different things are moving to and from, and to compare the numbers involved in the movement.
Political maps
Political maps shows the location and names of the built things on Earth. some of these things are country borders, state and territory borders, cities and towns.
-
Physical maps
Physical maps show the location and names of places on Earth. Some of these thing are mountains, deserts, rivers, oceans, reefs volcanos and lakes.
Choropleth maps
Choropleth maps use different shades of the same colour to give a quick impression of the pattern being formed by the data being shown.
Topographic maps
Topographic maps show the shape of lands by using contour lines. Numbers on some of the contour shows the height of the land above sea levels.
weather maps
Weather maps show how conditions in the atmosphere, such as air pressure, wind speed and wind direction. They also show the places were it is going to be cold or hot with the hot and cold font.

Week 3
Mountain landscapes
how mountains are formed
Mountains are formed when movements of the tectonic plates create volcanoes along the plate boundaries, which erupt and form mountains. A volcanic arc system is a series of volcanoes that form near a subduction zone where the crust of a sinking oceanic plate melts and drags water down with the subducting crust.
The worlds mountains
Mountains are defined by most geographers as ‘large natural elevations of the Earth’s surface’. Although everyone generally agrees on this definition, there is some disagreement about exactly how high the land must be in order for it to be classified as a mountain, while in other countries the minimum height is closer to 2500 metres. if we go by the second definition Australia's highest mountain, Mount Kosciusko, at 2228 metres is not really a mountain at all.
Week 4
Coastal landscape
Coastal. landscapes. Coasts are very dynamic places – they are constantly changing. Crashing waves, strong currents, tidal waters and hazards (such as tsunamis) all transform coastal landscapes. Along the east coast of England and Scotland the coast is under constant attack from the sea.
Erosional landforms
Coastal landforms is when waves push up against soft parts of the island and take it away and wash it into shore
