🏔️ National 5 Geography

I thought a corrie was a kind of biscuit. Apparently it's a hole a glacier made? Help me explain it in steps!

Answer recipes

Process → Process → Resulting landform

Tell it like a recipe in time order, using technical words (plucking, abrasion, freeze-thaw).

Snow builds up in a hollow… plucking pulls rock away… this leaves an armchair-shaped corrie.

Point + Developed reason

Each point needs a ‘because’ or ‘this means’. Use map or source evidence if given.

The land is flat (grid ref), which makes it cheaper to build on.

Trend + Figures + Exception

State the overall pattern, quote numbers, and note anything unusual.

Rainfall rises from 40mm to 120mm, except in June when it drops.

Put the processes in time order, using technical terms.

Process → Process → Resulting landform

I wrote everything down… even my cake thoughts. Can you make my reply make sense?

5 pieces

When the ice melts, an armchair-shaped hollow with a steep back wall remains: a corrie.

The ice rubbed the mountain with stones.

Snow collects in a north-facing hollow and compresses into glacier ice.

A corrie looks like a big bowl for trifle.

The ice erodes the back wall by plucking and the base by abrasion, deepening the hollow.

Perhaps not every thought belongs in my answer…
