Study Notes
UK Landscape Factors
- Relief: Gentle rolling hills, glacial landscape, no significant cliffs.
- Land Use: Primarily residential, roads, agriculture (animal farming), hedgerows present.
- Vegetation: Coniferous and deciduous trees, significant amount of grass.
- Culture: Small village life, farming community, stereotypical English characteristics.
UAE Landscape Factors
- Relief: Sand dunes, flat desert, no significant cliffs, natural desert landscape.
- Land Use: Tourism (camel riding), housing, industrial purposes, and tourism related buildings. Desert areas are also present.
- Vegetation: Limited vegetation (dead bushes), date palms, palm trees, scrubland, and artificial parks/landscapes.
- Culture: Arabic culture, camels, mosques.
Factors Influencing Landscapes
- Land Use: A major influence on landscapes. Human activities like industrialization and development significantly alter natural features (e.g., deforestation, factory construction).
Processes Shaping Landscapes
- Weathering: Wind, rain, and temperature variations.
- Frost: Physical weathering process.
- Flowing Water: Rivers contribute to landscape shaping.
- Wave Action: Shaping of coastal landscapes.
- Mining: Alters the landscape through extraction activities.
- Deforestation: Significant impact on forests and surrounding land.
Landscape Elements
- Sky: Part of the landscape.
- Clouds: Part of the landscape.
- Farmland: Represents specific land use.
- Forest Smells: Sensory aspect of the landscape.
- Noise: Includes sounds in the environment.
- Soil: Critical component of the landscape.
- People: Influence the landscape through activities.
- Animals: Contribute to the landscape.
Links Between Physical and Human Landscapes
Climate and Agriculture
- Agriculture: Varies based on climate conditions.
- Specific Needs: Sheep need sunshine, not extreme cold. Certain crops (bananas, potatoes) require specific temperature ranges or greenhouses.
Infrastructure and Location
- Climate-Specific Needs: Cold regions (Arctic) require insulated buildings; warm regions have differing structural needs.
Rocks and the Rock Cycle
- Rock Cycle: Includes sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. A continuous process involving sediment, magma, and other geological changes.
