Rock Cycle
Rock Cycle
The changing forms and processes involving sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. It involves transformations through sediment, magma, and other geological processes.
Relief
Relief
The natural features of a region, like mountains, valleys, or rivers. It encompasses the physical characteristics of the land.
Land Use
Land Use
How humans use the land, including agriculture, industry, and settlements. It reflects the interaction between humans and their environment.

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.
