AQA GEOGRAPHY PAPER 1 EXAM
QUESTIONS AND 100% VERIFIED
ANSWERS.
Explain why moraines and outwashes contain different types of rock - CORRECT-
ANSWER-Glaciers can move rocks of any size, but meltwater can only move
smaller rocks and particles.
How are arêtes formed? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Two corries form in neighbouring
valleys and erode towards each other
How are pyramidal peaks formed? - CORRECT-ANSWER-By three or more glaciers
eroding a mountain from different directions
How are truncated spurs formed? - CORRECT-ANSWER-By glaciers eroding the
interlocking spurs previously formed by rivers
,How are glacial troughs formed? - CORRECT-ANSWER-By glaciers eroding a U-
shaped valley, making it deeper and wider (into a U-shaped valley)
How are ribbon lakes formed? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Glaciers erode an area of soft
rock so it is deeper than the rest of the valley and it fills with water
How are hanging valleys formed? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Small glaciers flow into
larger ones, but then are left higher than the valley when the glacier melts due to
the depth of the valley
What is the name of the type of hill shown in the image? - CORRECT-ANSWER-
Drumlin
What is an erratic? - CORRECT-ANSWER-A type of rock deposited by glaciers very
far from where they were formed
Name the three types of moraine - CORRECT-ANSWER-Lateral moraines, medial
moraines, terminal moraines
,What is outwash? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Layers of small rocks transported by
meltwater from a glacier
What kinds of economic opportunities are available in glaciated upland areas? -
CORRECT-ANSWER-Tourism. Farming. Forestry. Quarrying.
What kinds of challenge are presented by tourists in glaciated upland areas? -
CORRECT-ANSWER-Can damage local habitats. Can cause footpath erosion. Can
leave litter behind. Can cause extensive traffic. Can cause businesses to neglect
locals in favour of tourists. Can drive up local house prices.
What kinds of challenge are presented by forestry in glaciated upland areas? -
CORRECT-ANSWER-Can destroy local habitats. Large and heavy machinery cause
noise and pollution.
What kinds of challenge are presented by quarrying in glaciated upland areas? -
CORRECT-ANSWER-Can destroy local habitats. Large and heavy machinery cause
noise and pollution.
, What kind of tourism takes place in glaciated upland areas and why? - CORRECT-
ANSWER-Walking, cycling, climbing and boating, due to the scenery and
abundance of rivers, lakes and mountains
What kind of farming takes place in glaciated upland areas and why? - CORRECT-
ANSWER-Pastoral farming (sheep) due to the steep slopes
What kind of forestry takes place in glaciated upland areas and why? - CORRECT-
ANSWER-Coniferous forests thrive in the mountainous climate and can be used
for construction
What kind of quarrying takes place in glaciated upland areas and why? -
CORRECT-ANSWER-Rock and minerals for construction are quarried as the
glaciers left them close to the surface
How is traffic managed in the Lake District? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Improvements
to public transport. Better routes for cycling and walking. Integrated travel tickets.
Controlled parking zones.
