River Landscapes: Long and Cross Profiles

This package is designed to support most GCSE examination boards, however, teachers must ensure they follow the requirements of their own exam board’s specification when delivering lessons.

These learning resources have been produced by The Flood Hub People for The Flood Hub.

This lesson focuses on understanding how our river landscapes change downstream. Key themes include long profile and cross profile, cross-sectional area, velocity and river discharge. The final part of the lesson concludes with the opportunity to practice answering GCSE-style questions.
