Cave, Arch and Stack Formation (large print)
by RnibThis is an image of an eroded headland. An image border surrounds the image. 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 land goes across the middle of the page from the left of the page towards the right. The sea fills the bottom of the page. On the left there is a large vertical crack in the cliff face. This is where the force of the sea and waves is opening a fissure in a weakness in the rock. To the right is another crack which has been eroded into a cave at sea level. In the centre of the image is an arch. This is where the sea has eroded a cave so deep it has broken right through the headland. To the right is where there used to be a second arch but it has been eroded so much it has collapsed. Its original position is shown by a dotted line. All that is left is on the right, a vertical stack of rock. To the right of the stack is a stump all that is left of a heavily eroded stack.

Causes of the Greenhouse Effect (large print)
by RnibThis page shows a diagram showing how the greenhouse effect works. 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 an image border. The sun is in the top left of the diagram. It shines down on the Earth and warms the soil shown by heavy arrows. To the right heat rises but most is trapped and reflected back to earth. At the top centre of the diagram two arrows show some heat escaping. In the bottom centre of the diagram is a factory. It has two windows and a tall chimney with smoke coming out. The smoke joins the clouds. To the right is a side view of a car producing smoke as its engine burns fossil fuel. The smoke adds to the clouds which are getting thicker. On the right of the diagram heat is rising again but the greenhouse gases have trapped even more heat so the Earth warms up even more.

Causes of River Pollution for Practice Question (tactile)
by RnibThis is a tactile diagram for GCSE level students. The diagram consists of two pages: A key followed by a map. The key contains all relevant tactile symbols, and labels included on the map. The map shows rivers running through Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Switzerland. Countries and rivers are labelled, as well as various factors contributing to pollution. The countries are shown as a heavy texture, with thick lines plotting the river. A scale and North symbol are also included.
Causes of Air Pressure - Low (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis page shows two diagrams of the causes of low air pressure, each with a dashed line image border. 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 at the top of the page is a cross section view of a low pressure system and the one at the bottom is a map view of the same system (seen from above). Cross section: At the top of each side of the image are two clouds. There are two, curved lines of arrows starting close to the surface of the Earth at the centre of the page. These indicate cool air spiralling inwards into the clouds at the top right and left of the page. Between the lines of arrows is a single arrow that points upwards showing the lighter warm air rising. Map: The diagram at the bottom of the page shows the same weather system from above. The clouds have been omitted. There is a series of concentric isobars represented by heavy dashed lines; each one is marked with the air pressure. Four arrows curve anti-clockwise towards the area of lowest pressure in the middle of the diagram, representing cool air spiralling inwards at the surface of the Earth.

Causes of Air Pressure - High (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis page shows two diagrams of the causes of high air pressure, each with a dashed line image border. 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 at the top of the page is a cross section view of a high pressure system, and the one at the bottom is a map view of the same system (seen from above). Cross section: There are two lines of arrows, starting on each side of the top of the image, which curve towards the centre of the page then down and back, along the surface of the Earth, to the image borders on the left and right. In between these lines of arrows, a single arrow indicates cool, heavier air sinking to the Earth's surface. Map: The diagram at the bottom of the page shows the same weather system from above. The clouds have been omitted. There is a series of concentric isobars represented by heavy dashed lines; each one is marked with the air pressure. Four arrows curve clockwise away from the area of high pressure in the middle of the diagram, showing cool air spiralling outwards at the surface of the Earth.

Burgess Model (Land-Use Model) (tactile)
by RnibThis is a tactile diagram for GCSE level students. It shows the layout of a town as it expands outward. Textures and labels help the user navigate the diagram.
Biological Weathering (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis page shows two images of a rock and a plant. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. The image surrounded by a dashed line image border. The rock on the left has a small crack in its top. Some moisture has collected there and a tree seed has germinated into a small plant with three leaves. Its roots are starting to invade the rock. On the right of the page the rock has been split in two by the tree which is starting to get quite big. Its roots over time have forced the rock apart. The roots have reached the soil beneath the rock and are spreading through the soil. The soil is shown in cross section so the roots can be found.

Biofuel Production (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis page shows a line graph. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. The graph shows the dramatic increase in biofuel production in recent years. The Y-axis on the left of the page is the volume of biofuel in millions of gallons and the X-axis going across the bottom of the page is time in years. The data line goes from the origin on the bottom left up and right.

Bed Materials as a Result of Longshore Drift (tactile)
by RnibThis is a tactile diagram for GCSE level students. It shows layers of rocks and how they are deposited on a beach by waves. Users start at the bottom of the diagram near the sea, and feel upwards to understand the changing size of material deposits. Labels explain how wave energy distributes material.
Beach Composition (large print)
by RnibThis is a cross section image of a beach. An image border surrounds the image. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. There is a cliff in the top left of the page and a small section of sea in the bottom right of the page. The sea is shown at low tide. The sand of the beach goes from the left of the page at the bottom of the cliff across to the right next to the sea. Down from the sand is rock. The level of the high tide is marked by a horizontal dotted line. Where it meets the beach it makes a ridge of sand and small stones called a berm. The sea sorts the beach material out with finer particles on the lower beach and larger particles higher up the beach. The largest particles form a storm beach at the very top of the beach above the high tide line. They are deposited by the powerful surge and waves of a violent storm.

Bars and Tombolos (UEB contracted)
by RnibThere are two plan images of coastline on this page, one at the top and one at the bottom of the page. An image border surrounds each image. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. In the top image the land fills the bottom half and the sea fills the top half of the image. Longshore drift goes from left to right. It has carried material from beaches on the left to form a bar or barrier beach across a small bay. This has made a lagoon of brackish water cut off from the sea. The bottom image shows part of the south coast of England. The land is in the top half and the sea in the bottom half of the image. The strong longshore current coming from the left (west) has carried material along the coast forming a large spit (Chesil Beach). It has grown so long it now joins the Isle of Portland in the bottom right of the image to the land forming a tombolo. Up the page from Chesil Beach is a lagoon called The Fleet. To the right of this is the coastal town of Weymouth.
