1. The water cycle.

2. Using the list of river landforms put them into the correct part of the Venn diagram.
EROSION BOTH DEPOSITION
Waterfall rapids delta meander
gorge ‘V’ shaped valley ‘U’ shaped valley
Oxbow lakes flood plain interlocking spurs

3. How much do you know about rivers?

4. Learning Objectives
Tbat describe the water cycle using key vocabulary such as infiltration and interception
Tbat explain how changes to the water cycle can impact on flooding.

5. Put the NUMBERS in order that they happen in the water cycle.
When liquid water turns to water vapour as it warms
When water vapour turns to liquid water as it cools
Water falling from the air to earth as rain, hail, sleet or snow
The process by which water vapour is given off by plants into the air
Plants, including trees
The flow of water over the ground surface
The flow of water beneath the ground surface
Rock that allows water to pass through it
Visible water droplets floating in the air

6. Copy the diagram off the board.

7. The water cycle – the basics

8. :Add the labels to your diagram
Interception, surface runoff, groundwater, infiltration, condensation, evaporation, precipitation.

9. Practice exam questions
Explain how deforestation can affect flooding within a drainage basin
(4 marks)
2. Explain how erosion, transport and deposition are affected by increased surface runoff. (6 marks)

10. Practice exam questions
Explain how deforestation can affect flooding within a drainage basin
(4 marks)
Leaves = interception
Roots = soak up water, increases soil erosion.

11. Practice exam questions
2. Explain how erosion, transport and deposition are affected by increased surface runoff. (6 marks)
More water = more erosion, can straighten out meanders, increase retreat at waterfalls and gorges
More energy = larger load carried further down stream, carried further etc.
