River Landscapes in the UK
Identifying landforms in a UK river valley
- 3 things to know
- Paper 1 section C
Overview
The erosional and depositional landforms of a UK river valley and their map evidence, grid references and flow direction, and the River Tees from Cross Fell and High Force waterfall to the meanders at Yarm and the Teesmouth estuary.

Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What should you be able to do with the river valley you have studied?
Model answer
Locate it, and name the landforms of erosion and of deposition that are found along it from source to mouth.
- 2
Which landforms of erosion would you expect to identify near the source of the river valley you have studied?
Model answer
Interlocking spurs, and waterfalls with their plunge pools and gorges, where the river is cutting downwards into the rock.
- 3
Which landforms would you expect to find along the middle course of the valley you have studied?
Model answer
Meanders with river cliffs and slip-off slopes, and the beginnings of a flood plain as the valley floor widens.
- 4
Near the mouth of the valley you have studied, which features has deposition built?
Model answer
Raised levées along the channel, a broad flood plain, and an estuary with its mudflats.
- 5
What evidence on a map tells you that you are looking at the upper part of a river valley?
Model answer
The contour lines are packed close together, the land is high, and the river is a thin line winding between spurs.
- 6
What evidence on a map suggests that a river has reached its lower course?
Model answer
The channel is wide, contours are far apart or absent, and the river swings in large curves across flat land.
