Glacial Landscapes in the UK
Identifying landforms in a glaciated UK upland
- 3 things to know
- Paper 1 section C
Overview
Recognising corries, glaciated valleys, arêtes, moraine and striations in a UK upland and on maps, how eroded and deposited landforms link, and Lake District examples such as Red Tarn, Striding Edge, Great Langdale, Windermere and Wast Water.

Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
Which landforms cut by ice should you be able to point out in the glaciated upland you studied?
Model answer
On the high ground, corries, arêtes and pyramidal peaks, and below them U-shaped troughs with truncated spurs, hanging valleys and ribbon lakes.
- 2
Which landforms left by deposition should you be able to identify in that upland?
Model answer
Ridges of moraine along or across the valleys, drumlins on the lower ground, and erratic boulders whose rock does not match the bedrock around them.
- 3
How can a corrie be recognised on a map of an upland area?
Model answer
By a horseshoe of tightly packed contours curling round a steep hollow high on a slope, often with a small round lake in the middle of it.
- 4
How can you tell a glaciated valley from a river valley on a map?
Model answer
A glaciated valley has a wide flat floor with contours spaced far apart and very steep sides where they crowd together, while a river valley narrows to a V and its floor holds a winding channel.
- 5
How would you recognise an arête when standing on one?
Model answer
It is a ridge so narrow you can see steep ground falling away on both sides at once, usually with a corrie hollow on either hand.
- 6
Where in a glaciated upland would you expect eroded landforms, and where deposited ones?
Model answer
Erosional landforms sit on the high ground where the ice formed and moved most powerfully, while deposited material is found lower down on valley floors and lowlands where the ice melted and released its load.
