Learning Intention. Understand how coastal processes transform the landscape. Examine the landforms created by these coastal processes. FEED. s for these landforms. F. With over four billion people living in coastal areas and the numbers growing rapidly each year, the need to understand and manage these areas is critical. Coastal areas are one of the most dynamic environments on the earth and area being constantly re-shaped by both natural processes and human development. They have both economic and environmental value – and it is these conflicting demands that bring about the need for long-term, sustainable management strategies.. Headlands and Bays. Cliffs and Wave Cut Platforms. Caves, Arches, Stacks and Stumps. Swanage Bay. Example of headlands and bays on the Dorset coastline.. Headlands and bays. How are cliffs and wave-cut platforms formed?. Coasts. Table A: fieldwork methodologies. Fieldwork locality. Use of transects (across a feature).

The Language of Climate Change. Coasts Are Shaped by Marine and Terrestrial Processes. Erosional Processes Dominate Some Coasts. Beaches Dominate Depositional Coasts. Larger-Scale Features Accumulate on Depositional Coasts. Biological Activity Forms and Modifies Coasts. Aim: . To know the outline of this topic and to complete the introduction tasks. Sub topics across this option. Enquiry Q1:Coastal processes. Enquiry Q2:Landforms and landscapes. Enquiry Q3:Coastal risks. Aim: We must know and understand the following:. What do they look like? What factors influence their formation?. What is coastal erosion?. Specification content. Starter – . High and low energy coastlines. WHAT IS COASTAL EROSION? Coastal erosion is the endless reshaping of shorelines by waves, currents, tides, storms, ice, rain and groundwater seepage. Human activities, like construction, dredging, CO Interacting Elements of the Coastal System. Types of Coastlines in NZ. Rocky shorelines. Form on high energy coasts where the ocean meets mountains or sea cliffs. Sandy beaches. Mainland, pocket and barrier beaches. 2. What are the main types of soft and hard engineering used on the coastline of the UK? . (Coastal defences). Advantages and disadvantages of these techniques. 3. Definitions. Soft engineering: . method of coastal management which works with natural processes at work on the coastline and to be . Learning objectives. To explain . how beach material is transported along the coastline through the process of . longshore. drift. . . To describe how deposition creates coastal landforms: . beaches.
