Snowdonia National Park, Breaon Beacons and Pembrokeshire cost
3 of 36
What attractions are there in Snowdonia National Park?
Mountaineering, white water rafting, mountain biking,fishing, Welsh Highland Railways and camping
4 of 36
Positive resasons of tourism in Snowdonia National Park?
Jobs (B&B, campsites, shops, resteraunts ect) Cultures (more cultures may break down the racist stereotypes), Honeypot
5 of 36
What does dilution mean?
There are more new home owners so tradition may be lost
6 of 36
What does honeypot mean
New cafes, sites and shops which improves consumer choice but this could lead to overcrowding
7 of 36
Name the 7 negative reasons for tourism in Snowdonia National Park?
Footpath erosion, congestion of narrow roads, parking, damage to the landscapes, seasonal employment, conflict of users, house prices ( house price would go up so ovals could no longer live their)
8 of 36
Name the changes to the rural economies in snowdownia?
Honeypot sites, growing jobs, investment , multiplier effect.
9 of 36
What is the Multiplier effect?
This is when industries grow in an area (shops, hotels ect) as there is a clear demand there. So an area has grown in particular facilities as demand is high.
10 of 36
What are the changes to rural societies?
Carrying capacity ( the volume of tourists exceed the enviroments ability) Cultural exchange, traditional industry, second homes and holiday homes (house prices are constantly risen because there high in demand)

How can landscapes in Wales be managed part 1
Education-Show visitors how they can be responsible tourists with events leaflets information centres ,guided walks, and events. Car parking- Encourage visitors to leave their cars behind and use greener travel eg bikes.
12 of 36
How can lanscapes in wales be managed (not including education or car parking. Part 2
recycling- schemes to incourage recycling. Footpath maintenance- To stop an overload of people on one route and to reduce erosion. Planning policies-Use plannign policies to control spread of buildings in bulit-up areas.
13 of 36
How can landscapes in Wales be managed (expect car parking education, recycling, Footpath maintenance, planning policies) Part 3
Limited visitor numbers-Limited number of people allowed in the park. Fenced off areas- Using barriers to direct people along preferred routes. Drainage- To prevent the paths from flooding and to direct water away from eroded areas.
14 of 36
Name the 3 Parts of a drainage.
Cambering-where possible the path surface is landscaped to promote surafec run-off straight into ditches. Ditching-Ditches are dug on the uphill side of the path. Culverts- A path across the path line to the downside hill.
15 of 36
Explain what pitchign and landscaping is
Refers to a stome -made path surface which is hard wearing.
16 of 36
Explain Re-vegetation
Re-vegetaion can nelp stabilise bare earth that can be eroded , but often a protective layer is required to enable vegetation to grow in difficult soil conditions.
17 of 36
Explain monitoring and maintenance.
Monitoring indicates how stable the repairs are and inicate the level of maintenance required.
18 of 36
Explain the upper course
A river flows from an upland ource Here the water is faster than downstream because the river gradient is steep.
19 of 36
Explain middle course
Has a wider floor and the sides of the valley are more gently sloping . The velocity is slower than the upper course .
20 of 36
Explain lower course
Is very gentle, almost flat. The channel is usually at it's widest and deepest.
21 of 36
What are the upper course features
V shaped valleys, interlocking spurs, waterfalls and gorges.
22 of 36
What are the features of the middle course
Meanders, river cliffs and slip off slopes.
23 of 36
What are the features of the lower course
Ox-bow lakes, flood plains and levees
24 of 36
What are the 3 proccesses that are constantly chnaging te landscapes.
Erosion, Transportation and deposition.
25 of 36
What does erosion mean?
The wearing away of land by a river.
26 of 36
Name 2 ways a river could erode (abrasion/corrasion and attriction)
Abrasion or corrasion-When large pieces of bedland material wear away the land.Attrition-When the bed load itself is eroded when sediments particles knock against the bed or each other and break, becoming smaller or rounder.
27 of 36
Name the other 2 ways that river erodes.
Hydraulic action- This is when the fource of water erodes softer rock. Solution or corrosion- When acidic water erodes rock.
28 of 36
Explain transportation
The movement of eroded material along a river.
29 of 36
what does solution and suspension mean?
Solution- MInerals are dissolved in the water carried along in solution. Supension- FIne light material is carried along in the water.
30 of 36
What does saltation and Traction mean?
Saltation- Small pebbles and stones are bounced along the river bed. Traction-Large boulders and rocks are rolled along the river bed.
31 of 36
Name the first two steps of waterfall formation.
1)Soft rock is undercut by a process known as abrasion/hydrolic action. 2)This leaves a layer of hard rock which overhangs the layer of soft rock.
32 of 36
Name the other 2 steps of waterfall formation.
3) The water flows over the overhang and creates a plunge pool in theh soft rock below. The plundge pool gets bigger due to further hydraulic action and abrasion. 4) The over hang will collapse due to the erosion of the soft rock beneath.
33 of 36
Name the last step of the formation of a waterfall.
Teh waterfall then retreats up stream. This creates a steep, gorge- like valley.
34 of 36
what is a meander?
A meander is formed in the middle course of a river, the water flows faster on the outer bend where the channel is deeper.
35 of 36
How is a river cliff formed?
Water being flung around on the outer bend as it flows aound the meander, this causes greater erosion which deepens the channel, this lateral erosion in undercutting of the river banks and the formation of a steep-sided river cliff.
