Unit Summary
This unit, comprising of three variants, teaches pupils about processes and landforms associated with coastal, river and glacial landscapes. Pupils will learn about the formative processes involved in creating distinctive landforms and of the need for management.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to explain how conflicts may exist between different land uses and between development and conservation in glaciated upland areas.
Key Notes
- Conflicts can exist between different land uses in glaciated upland areas.
- Conflicts can exist between development and conservation in glaciated upland areas.

- development: usually involving landscape change, for example, road building or new houses
- conservation: preserving the natural or built environment, usually with minimal change
- stakeholder: individuals or groups with an interest or concern in a particular issue
