PPT-Coastal landforms Beach profile

The beach is the strip of the shoreline that is washed by waves and tides It is divided into two zones The foreshore called the intertidal zone that lies between the high and low tide lines .

Consequently managing them requires a detailed understanding of both natural and human influences. With over 4 billion people living worldwide living within 40km of the coast, an ever-increasing demand for coastal leisure activities and the threat of increasing sea levels, the challenge is to find sustainable ways of managing the frontier between land and sea which offers protection from the forces of nature whilst being sensitive to the needs of the environment..

Consequently managing them requires a detailed understanding of both natural and human influences. With over 4 billion people living worldwide living within 40km of the coast, an ever-increasing demand for coastal leisure activities and the threat of increasing sea levels, the challenge is to find sustainable ways of managing the frontier between land and sea which offers protection from the forces of nature whilst being sensitive to the needs of the environment.. Coastal landforms are shaped by the currents, waves, winds and storms.. This landform is called a beach. What is it made from? . How are the waves and storms affecting this beach?.
