Continuing our look at river processes.

1) Meanders and Ox Bow Lakes.2) Flood plain formation.

3) Case study comparison- England and Bangladesh.

Meander = a bend in a river

From above this will look something like this…

Why is all this vital?

• It is vital to have all this information for one simple reason- to discover how flood plains are formed.

• It is this that links to flooding…

Floodplains

Homework- exam style question- you will have to think outside the box and do some research for this one.

1) Describe how a natural levee is formed.6 marks

1) How are man made levees breached and are man made levees as effective at preventing a flood as natural levee’s.

Impacts of flooding.

• Study the image opposite of flooding in the Yorkshire Dales.

• Brain Storm all the impacts of the flood, thinks outside the box as I want a different idea from everybody.

Separating These Ideas.

• Now highlight your brainstorm with two different colours.– One for short term impacts.– One for long term impacts.

Comparing floods.

• We are now going to compare two flooded areas1. Britain.2. Bangladesh. • To do this we are going to compare two flood events.• First we will watch the video clips, then we will watch

each one again and answer a series of key questions about them.

– The flooding of Britain last year in July.– Flooding in Bangladesh after hurricane Sidr in November of

Last Year.• First we will watch the video clips, then we will watch

each one again and answer a series of key questions about them.

Key questions.

• Make a copy of these key questions into your exercise books and then answer them for each example of flooding.

1. Extent of Flooding

2. How do Emergency Services respond?

3. How are roads affected?

4. How are buildings affected?

5. How are people affected?

News Just In…

• We are now going to watch a news clip from a flood in Bangladesh that happened in August this year.

• As we watch the clip I want you to think how the problems the people are facing are different to that of the UK

• I also want you to think about what could be done to solve these problems and how long this might take.

What should be done?

• Using the news reel we have just seen and the picture displayed on the board I want you to write down what can be done– now in Bangladesh, – in the next few months – then over the next few year years.

Who does what?

• Think about all the problems people face in Bangladesh during a flood.

• I want you to organise these problems into three areas.

1. What a family could solve2. What local people could solve3. What the government of Bangladesh could

solve.ExtensionWhat problems could our Government solve?
