1. Revising Why rivers flood
Use this in collaboration with the skeleton revision card, the key word list and the revision guide

2. “So What Geography” of the causes of river flooding

Impermeable rock (geology)
There are less trees and vegetation cover
Heavy rainfall over the preceding months
Why do some rivers flood more often than others?
It is a more urbanised drainage basin
Smaller drainage basin
Sudden snow melt
Print this for them to complete and glue in
Steeper valley sides
