Use Figure 19 and your own understanding.

Study Figure 17, a map showing the depth and extent of ice during the last ice age in Europe.

Figure 18 is a partly completed cross section of ice depth between X and Y shown on Figure 17.

Using Figure 17, complete Figure 18, a cross section showing the depth of ice between X and Y.

Using Figure 17, compare the maximum depth of ice over the British Isles with the maximum depth of ice over Scandinavia.

Using Figure 17, which one of the following statements is true?

Shade one circle only.

A Ice covered the whole of the British Isles during the last ice age.

B The main ice sheet was centred in southern Europe.

C The ice sheet extended westwards from Scandinavia to the British Isles.

D The shape of the coastline during the ice age was the same as the present day.

Study Figure 19, a photograph showing a retreating glacier.

Identify the feature shown at X.

Suggest one reason why the material deposited by a glacier is mixed in size and shape.

Explain the formation of a glacial trough (U-shaped valley).

Use one or more diagrams to support your answer.

Study Figure 20, information about tourism in Snowdonia National Park, a glaciated area in the UK.

Figure 20

Assess the economic and environmental impacts of tourism in a glaciated upland area of the UK.

Use Figure 20 and your own understanding.

Study Figure 15, a 1:50 000 Ordnance Survey map showing part of Snowdonia in Wales.

Using Figure 15, what is the difference in height between the spot height at 556577 and the spot height at 532577?

Using Figure 15, describe the land use shown in the highlighted grid square 5456.

Explain the formation of a hanging valley.

Study Figure 17, information about the Snowdon Sherpa bus service.

Figure 17

The Snowdon Sherpa is a bus service that travels around the foot of Snowdon. The bus service links the six main routes that go up Mount Snowdon, as well as the main car parks, villages and tourist attractions in the area.

Discuss the success of strategies used to manage the impacts of tourism in glaciated upland areas.

Use Figure 17 and an example you have studied.
