The Dales to the Border or the North Region

The Dales to the Border
The Dales to the Border
Borders: in the north Scotland, in the east the North Sea, in the west the Irish Sea and in the south the midlands regions of England
It compromises the counties of Northumberland, Durham, Yorkshire, Cumberland and Lancashire. Its name is because this region is from the border between England and Scotland to the dales which are lowland valleys.
During the Ice Age many deep valleys were formed in the counties of Cumbria and North Yorkshire and made rivers into waterfalls and left behind the hills and mountains. Beneath the earth is coal- the foundation of the region’s industry.

Rivers: * Yorkshire Ouse or Ouse: It flows towards the south-east in the Humber. * Aire: It flows towards the southeast in the Ouse River. * Tees: It flows towards the east in the North Sea. * Tyne: It flows towards the east in the North Sea. * Wear: It flows towards the east in the North Sea

The Penniene Chain dominates the region. This chain is an extensive range of hills, from northern England, extending south from the Cheviot Hills on the southern border of Scotland to the Midland Plain of England. In the northwest, the Eden Valley separates the Pennine Chain from the region known as the Cumbrian or the Lake District Mountains. In the south, the chain is broken by the Aire River. The Pennine Chain covers parts of Northumberland; Cumbria; Durham; Lancashire; North, West, and South Yorkshire; Derbyshire; and Cheshire. The highest point, Cross Fell, is 893 m.

The Cumbrian Mountains are a mountain range on the northwestern England. It has some deposits of coal and iron ore. One of the notable elevations is Scafell Pike, 978 m, the highest mountain in England. There are many narrow valleys in all

    The Appalachians are a chain of mountains that run from eastern Newfoundland, Canada to Alabama, US. They are the result of three major orogenic events that divide, by means of major thrust faults, into separate provenances: the Valley and Ridge province, the Blue Ridge province, and the Piedmont, from West to East respectively. Each provenance formed at a different time and is comprised of regionally distinct lithologies (Chernicoff, 1995).…

    The plain of Holderness did not exist before the Ice Age. It was once a wide bay backed by chalk cliffs running from Flamborough Head to Hessle, west of the city of Hull. Today Holderness is made up of glacial tills – sands and clays deposited by ice sheets during the Ice Age (Figure 4). The tills are soft and unstable and have little resistance to erosion. The low cliffs repeatedly slump down along rotational slip planes, lubricated by water which reduces friction and makes the sands and clays slip easily. The sea washes the slumped material away. This rapid coastal retreat will continue until the old buried cliff-line along the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Wolds is once again exposed. This is composed of much more resistant chalk rock, which will again form impressive white cliffs such as those north of Bridlington.…

    Doggerland was an area of land, now lying beneath the southern North Sea, that connected Great Britain to mainland Europe during and after the last Ice Age. It was then gradually flooded by rising sea levels around 6,500–6,200 BCE. Geological surveys have suggested that it stretched from Britain’s east coast to the Netherlands and the western coasts of Germany and the peninsula ofJutland. It was probably a rich habitat with human habitation in the Mesolithic period, although rising sea levels gradually reduced it to low-lying islands before its final destruction, perhaps following a tsunami caused by the Storegga…
