Depressions Shown on a Weather Map (tactile)
by RnibThis is a tactile diagram for GCSE level students. The diagram covers two pages, and shows how cold and warm fronts move across the Earth's surface. Solid shapes depict the warm and cool fronts, with circular lines and labels marking their position and progress.
Demographic Transition Model of Population Change (tactile)
by RnibThis a tactile diagram for GCSE level students. The diagram covers two pages: a key shows different line textures for factors plotted on the graph. The following page contains a graph, where death rate, birth rate and total population are plotted against time.
Daytime and Night-time Sea Breezes (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis page has two diagrams of daytime and night-time sea breezes shown in cross section (from the side) and stretching across the width of the page: one at the top and one at the bottom. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. A dashed line image border surrounds each diagram. Daytime sea breezes (1): The diagram at the top of the page shows an area of land at the left, sloping right and down to a section of sea, starting at the bottom centre of the diagram. Above the land on the left are two wiggly lines with arrowheads and up the page from these are a line of arrows pointing to the right, then down, then back to the left, showing the onshore cool breeze. At the top right of the page are three thick arrows pointing down and left diagonally, representing the sun's energy. There are text labels on the diagram that describe the features and processes shown. Night-time sea breezes (2): The diagram at the bottom of the page shows an area of land at the left, sloping right and down to a section of sea, starting at the bottom centre of the diagram. Above the sea on the right are two wiggly lines with arrowheads and up the page from these are a line of arrows pointing to the left, then down, then back to the right, showing the offshore breeze. There are text labels on the diagram, which describe the features and processes shown.
Destructive Plate (tactile)
by RnibThis is a tactile diagram for GCSE students. It shows a cross-section of the Earth's crust, with the movement of two tectonic plates pushing together. Labels explain how mountains and new volcanoes can form with the movement of the plates.
Counting Along a Line Transect (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis page shows a labelled cross section through a coastal landscape and a table. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left, when the image is the correct way up. The image is surrounded by a dashed line image border. The cross section is at the top of the page and the table at the bottom of the page. The table has information about the soil in the part of the cross section immediately up the page from it. In the cross section there is a small section of sea on the left centre of the page. Right from the sea is a sand dune with grass, then some shrubs and then more grass. Next to the right are some bushes and a small tree. To the right again is some unlabelled grass, then a bush and a larger tree.
Creation of an Ox-Bow Lake (tactile)
by RnibThis is a tactile diagram for GCSE level students. The diagram covers two pages: a key to the diagram with labelled textures, and a diagram showing a river evolving into a lake, with arrows to show the directional flow of the water. Labels also explain the process. The water is shown as a texture.

Continental Drift (UEB contracted)
by RnibThere are two maps on this page showing how the continents of South America and Africa were once joined and have now drifted apart. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. A light dashed horizontal line separates the two maps. At the top of the page the locations of the continents are shown as they were 500 million years ago. South America on the left and Africa on the right are shown almost touching and seem to fit neatly together. In the centre of the image, the areas of rock and the fossils found in them match each other on both continents. In the map at the bottom of the page, the continents' present locations are shown; they have drifted away from each other and are now almost 2000 miles apart.

Conservative Margin (tactile)
by RnibThis page consists of aerial views of two types of conservative margins, both with dashed image borders. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The diagram on the left shows two adjacent plates moving in opposite directions as indicated by arrows. The plate to the left of the diagram is moving towards the top of the page, while the plate on the right is moving towards the bottom. The scraping and snagging of the plates causes powerful earthquakes. The diagram on the right of the page shows two plates moving in the same direction. The plate on the right is moving faster than the one on the left, which is again causing scraping and snagging.
Constructive Plate (tactile)
by RnibThis a tactile diagram for GCSE level students. It shows a cross section of two tectonic plates, with magma pushing up in between them to form a new layer of rock. Students can feel the plates above the magma, and use the arrows to feel the direction of the movement.
Comparison of Glaciers and Rivers (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis page shows six images. There are three at the top of the page and three at the bottom of the page. The top images are about rivers and the bottom images are about glaciers. Each image is surrounded by an image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image in the top left shows a cross section of an upland river valley. It has steep sides and forms a V shaped valley. The image in the bottom left of the page shows a cross section of a glacier. The side walls are very steep, nearly vertical. The valley bottom is gently rounded forming a U shaped valley. The image in the top centre of the page is a cross section showing a river flowing from the left as a stream, to the right as a river.
Constructive Margin (tactile)
by RnibThis diagram shows a vertical cross section of a constructive margin: the catastrophic parting of two oceanic or two continental plates. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Each object has a descriptive label. The diagram is framed by a dashed line image border. The bottom of the page is occupied by a section of the earth's mantle, which consists of hot rock. At the centre of the page are two plates moving away from each other horizontally towards the left and right of the page. The directions of movement are shown by arrows on each plate. The rock of the mantle melts, and this molten lava flows through the central space left by the parting plates. Further up the page the lava meets the sea. Here it is cooled by the water where it solidifies and forms an underwater volcano. At the top of the page is the atmosphere above the sea.
Constructive and Destructive Waves (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis page shows two cross sectional images of beaches and waves, one on the top and one on the bottom of the page. The images are surrounded by an image border. There is a small key at the top of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image on the top of the page shows small constructive waves. The beach has a gentle slope rising from the left to the beach on the right. This allows a strong swash that can deposit sand on the beach. The gentle, shallow profile means the backwash is weak and little material is taken back to the seabed. The image on the bottom of the page shows destructive waves. The beach has a steep slope rising from the left to the beach on the right. This means the swash is short and weak. The steep profile means the waves are big with most of the energy from the waves crashing down vertically onto the beach eroding it. The steep profile generates a strong backwash which drags material back to the seabed.
