Answer
  • Very resistant
  • Not resistant
  • Less resistant than sedimentary

Question 16

Question
How have metamorphic rocks formed?
Answer
  • When sedimentary or igneous rock has been put under extreme heat or pressure.
  • When sedimentary or igneous rock have been frozen
  • When sedimentary or igneous rock has been weathered

Question 19

Question
Where in the UK can we find a lot of sedimentary rock landscapes?
Answer
  • Only found in Scotland and S-E England
  • The East and South East of England, South West England and the border of England and Wales
  • Scattered around N-W Scotland, Northern Wales, S-W England and Northern Ireland

Question 20

Question
Where in the UK can we find a lot of Igneous rock landscapes?
Answer
  • Scattered around N-W Scotland, Northern Wales, S-W England and Northern Ireland
  • The East and South East of England, South West England and the border of England and Wales
  • Only found in Scotland and S-E England
  • Far North of England (e.g Whin Sill) and North Northern Ireland (e.g Giant's Causeway) N-W Scotland, Devon and Cornwall

Question 21

Question
Where in the UK can we find a lot of metamorphic rock landscapes?
Answer
  • Scattered around N-W Scotland, Northern Wales, S-W England and Northern Ireland
  • Where in the UK can we find a lot of metamorphic rock landscapes?
  • Only found in Scotland and S-E England
  • Far North of England (e.g Whin Sill) and North Northern Ireland (e.g Giant's Causeway) N-W Scotland, Devon and Cornwall

Question 22

Question
What is the Earth’s crust (outer layer) broken up into?
Answer
  • Tectonic plates
  • Tetonic layers
  • Tectonic pieces
  • Tectonic sections

Question 23

Question
What happens where these tectonic plates are moving away from each other?
Answer
  • Vegetation grows.
  • Water rises and so sea levels rise.
  • Sea creatures fall into the ridges that are created.
  • Magma rises solidifying and so creating a new crust.

Question 24

Question
How can you link this to past tectonic activity in the UK?
Answer
  • The plates moving away from eachother would have only caused eruptions.
  • The UK would've been even further from the Mid-Atlantic ridge and so has never experienced major earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
  • The plates moving away from eachother would only have caused earthquakes.
  • The UK would have been far closer to the Mid-Atlantic ridge, and so would have experienced tectonic activity in the past.

Question 25

Question
What kind of rock was formed by tectonic (volcanic) activity in the past in the UK?
Answer
  • Sedimentary
  • Metamorphic
  • Igneous
  • Limestone

Question 26

Question
What type of land has the igneous rocks created and why?
Answer
  • Highland because it is more resistant so less easily eroded
  • Highland because it is less resistant so less easily eroded
  • Highland because it is more resistant so more easily eroded
  • Lowland because it's less resistant so more easily eroded

Question 27

Question
What have much of the lowland areas in the UK been formed from?
Answer
  • Igneous rocks
  • Metamorphic rocks
  • Sedimentary rocks

Question 28

Question
Give an example of lowland areas.
Answer
  • Dartmoor
  • The Pennines
  • The Grampians
  • The North and South Downs

Question 29

Question

Answer
  • Limestone
  • Sandstone
  • Chalk
  • Clay
