Key Info
  • Changing landscapes - weather and tourism
  • Duration: 02:08
  • A report about how the weather and tourism can affect the landscape of Snowdon, a mountain in North Wales. Weather changes the shape and appearance of Snowdon every day. Water and ice crack the rock face, break it up and create scree. This process is called weathering. Tourists also affect the landscape. They have to use the mountain paths which prevent them from roaming all over the mountain slopes and creating damage. The paths need to be repaired due to the erosion caused by walking.
