Cold Environments Possible Questions
Hi all,
I have been putting together initial ideas for possible questions. I have put the document on the A2 Cold Environments Page. Check you open up the correct link.
Also, see the post below for a link to a powerpoint which takes you through what to revise and the post below that has new links added to it for periglacial landscapes in the UK.
Please email me if you need help or have any questions.

Cold Environments Jan 2012 What to revise!
Hi all,
I have tried to put together on the PPT (link below) a summary of what you need to look at over the holidays. In particular, it focuses on what the focus means by 'differing scales' and on the last two slides I have broken down the aspects you need to look at over the hols.

COLD ENVIRONMENTS FOCUS EXAM 2012
The focus for the exam is below and then underneath it I have given you some guidance about the terms you need to be aware of and have given your 4 summary questions which you can start finding out the answers to from your folders. Please bullet point answers to these questions before your next Geography lesson.
Research Focus
OPTION 2: Cold Environments – Landscapes and Change
• Explore the processes which shaped the landscape during the Pleistocene within a region such as the British Isles.
• Research the wide variety of landscapes and landforms created at differing scales by glacial and periglacial processes within a chosen region.
Key terms to begin your preparation:
Pleistocene
Glacial processes
Periglacial processes
Glacial landscapes
Glacial landforms
Periglacial landscapes
Periglacial landforms
Key questions to answer:
1) What is the Pleistocene (epoch)? What time period does it include? What was the distribution of cold environments during this time (ensure you include glacial and periglacial)?
2) What are the key glacial processes which would have been at work during this time?
3) What are the key periglacial processes which would have been at work during this time?
4) What landforms did these processes create in glacial and periglacial landscapes?
