Topic 3 Mr K Whitlock
(2021)
Geomorphology
,• Chapter 1: Topography associated with
horizontally layered rocks
• Chapter 2: Topography associated with inclined
(tilted) rock strata
• Chapter 3: Topography associated with massive
igneous rocks
• Chapter 4: Slopes
• Chapter 5: Mass movements and human
responses
,Chapter 1: Topography associated with
horizontally layered rocks
• Unit 1: Characteristics and processes associated with the development
of hilly landscapes, basaltic plateaus, canyon and Karoo landscapes
• Unit 2: Scarp retreat (back wasting)
• Unit 3: Utilisation of these landscapes by people
, Unit 1: Characteristics and processes associated with
the development of hilly landscapes, basaltic
plateaus, canyon and Karoo landscapes
• Flat topped hills have formed as the top rock is more resistant to
weathering and erosion than the rock which is below them
• The reason it is flat is the top rock is formed horizontally
