1 Coastal Erosion EARTH SCIENCE GEOLOGY COASTAL EROSION Section 1: Waves How do waves form? Waves are generated by the competing forces of surface friction. The wind transfers energy from air to water and forms waves, which are brought back to the surface by gravity. The size of the waves depends on several factors, including wind speed and the distance the wind has traveled over the water (known as the fetch). Waves are created by wind blowing over the water s surface - Coastal Processes: Waves What happens as waves approach the shore? The depth of water affects the motion of waves, as the water becomes shallower the wave begins to slow down. This causes the height of the wave to increase until the surface tension is no longer able to hold the wave together, allowing the top of the wave to collapse; this phenomenon is known as the wave breaking. Waves can also refract, change direction and bend as they approach the shore. The breaking wave moves up the beach as swash, and runs back down the beach as backwash. - Coastal Processes: Waves Surfers like to ride constructive waves What are the different types of waves? There are two distinct types of wave at the coastline: constructive and destructive waves. Constructive waves are waves that surge up the beach with a powerful swash and a weaker backwash. They carry large amounts of sediment and are able to build up the beach. They are usually formed by storms, far out in the ocean. Constructive waves are evenly spaced and have signifi cant power when they fi nally reach the coast. Surfers ride this type of wave. Destructive waves are formed by local winds closer to the coast. They are so named because they are able to take away beach sediment. Destructive waves arrive at irregular intervals. They tend to be close together, and often merge and interfere with each other as a result, producing a chaotic mass of water. They tend to crash down steeply on to the beach meaning there is little swash but a powerful backwash. This explains the removal of sediment. 1
2 DIAGRAM 01: Some ocean waves can collide violently with the shore - Coastal processes: Waves Suggested Activities - Create two sets of cards, one stating different wave characteristics and the other different wave types. Ask the students to match the cards to the wave type. - Ask the students to model the different wave types using modeling clay. If there is time, a simple animation could be created. Section 2: Shaping the Coastline How does marine erosion shape the coastline? The sea can wear away the coastline in many ways, and waves play a large part in coastal erosion. The energy released by waves breaking onshore can move sediment, as they advance and retreat up the shoreline. Waves can break down or grind down the rock exposed in cliffs in a process called abrasion. The waves can also cause sediment on the shore to erode through attrition, by causing rocks, pebbles and sand to crash into each other and break apart. In addition, seawater can chemically attack rocks and sediments, in a process called solution. These processes work together, driven on by the relentless energy of the waves. s - Coastal Processes: Erosion, Deposition and Transportation - Weathering Extension Question Q1. What affects the rate of coastal erosion? Coastal erosion can be affected by the geology of the shoreline (particularly the strength and structure of cliff faces), by the geometry of the seabed offshore and by the energy of the waves, and by the rate at which sand is added to and removed from the beach. A shallow offshore gradient generally means lower wave energy, and more depositional features. Coasts that face the open ocean will generally have to withstand higher wave energy, and cliffs are more likely to form here. The rate of erosion is also infl uenced by the nature of human management of the coastline. 2
3 How does marine transport operate? DIAGRAM 02: Most of the rock and sediment present on beaches is created on land by weathering, and has been deposited over many centuries by rivers flowing into the sea. Further beach sediment is added through the action of marine erosion on the coastline. The sediment is moved by various erosion processes. When waves break they travel up the beach in a process known as swash, and retreat in a process known as backwash. Waves generally approach the shoreline at an angle because they are refracted (or bent) as they head towards the coast and enter shallower water. Beach sand tends to be moved sideways along the coast by a process known as longshore drift. This will have a particular direction of movement depending on the prevailing wind direction. - Coastal Processes: Erosion, Deposition and Transportation When does deposition occur at the coastline and what features does it create? Deposition of sediment can occur in any body of water when the water loses some of its energy. Deposition of rock, sand and pebbles along coastlines is likely to occur when the wave energy is reduced, such as when waves enter an area of shallower water, or when wind speed decreases. There can be sheltered areas, for example behind a spit of land, where sediment is deposited in suffi cient quantity to create features such as salt marshes. Onshore winds also allow the development of sand dunes if there is suffi cient beach material of the right type. Beaches are created by the deposition of material which has been eroded and transported from somewhere else. Depending on the direction and nature of the waves approaching the beach, sand and other beach material can be deposited as a variety of landforms. Spits (strips of beach material stretching out to sea), bars (a strip of beach material joining two headlands), mudfl ats and salt marshes are distinctive landforms resulting from deposition in the coastal zone. s - Coastal Processes: Erosion, Deposition and Transportation - Coastal Landforms Sandy beaches are formed by deposition 3
4 Extension Questions Q2. Which What problems land processes do people shape cause our coastline? for beaches? In As addition well as the to the persistent hydraulic problem action of waves plastic on pollution the shoreline, on many beaches, people can create other problems. One of the cliffs most can obvious also issues be affected is the by removal processes of beach of erosion material, and which physical would otherwise absorb wave energy and reduce the rate and of erosion. chemical This weathering can be done which accidentally, are found on elsewhere people s on feet, land. but can also be deliberate. The resort of Budleigh Salterton Many in Devon coastal has seen features its famous are also pebbles related stolen the deposition in large quantities of over the years, and signs warning of a fi ne of 1000 sediment have been by erected. rivers. Q3. Which land processes shape our coastline? In addition to the hydraulic action of waves on the shoreline, cliffs can also be affected by processes of erosion and physical and chemical weathering elsewhere on land. The action of plants and animals can cause cliffs to crumble. Many coastal features are also related to the deposition of sediment by rivers. Where cliffs are not vegetated they are more likely to be affected by erosion. Suggested Activities - Ask the students to research the formation of depositional features and to draw labeled diagrams to describe their formation. - Ask the students to find photographs of depositional coastal features and pinpoint their location to a map of the world. - Ask the students to create a miniature beach in a plastic tray, using sand and small gravel pieces. With the aid of some plastic figures and some water, investigate the way that material is moved and deposited by the water. Blow through a straw to create waves. Section 3: Coastal Features and Their Protection What are the distinctive landforms resulting from erosion and how are they formed? Sea cliffs occur partly through the erosive action of waves on rocks exposed at the coast. Where the foot of the cliff is attacked by waves, a wave-cut notch forms, which can eventually undercut the cliff. A cliff collapse moves the shoreline inland. Where wave action is concentrated on a particular part of the shoreline, or where less resistant rocks are surrounded by stronger rocks, bays can form as the coastline retreats inwards. The peninsula extending from the edge of a bay is known as a headland, and is often composed of much harder rock than the area of the bay. Erosion can then be concentrated on the headland, often partially or fully detaching the headland from the bay to form caves, arches or stacks. s - Coastal Landforms - How Do Caves Form? Suggested Activities - Ask the students to research the formation of erosional features and draw labeled diagrams to describe their formation. - Ask the students to create a collage of photos of the features formed by coastal erosion, labeling their location. Hollow caves can be carved out by water to form an arch 4

In A tombolo addition is to formed the hydraulic when a action spit or of sandbar waves on attaches the shoreline, an island to the mainland. This usually occurs in sheltered cliffs locations, can also but some be affected features by are processes a relic from of erosion sea level and rise physical at the end of the last ice age. One of the most famous and examples chemical is Chesil weathering Beach; which a shingle are found ridge elsewhere in Dorset which on land. has connected the Isle of Portland to the mainland. Many coastal features are also related to the deposition of sediment Q5. How by do rivers. humans use the coastline? Populations often concentrate around the coast because harbors and ports provide a source of materials from other parts of the world, as well as a base for the fi shing industry. Coastlines are also an important part of the tourist industry and offer abundant opportunities for recreation. Q6. How will rising sea levels change the coastal zone? Rising sea levels could submerge many coastal zones, leading to increased erosion and extensive fl ooding of lowlying areas near to the coast. They could also affect the quality of water and groundwater near the coast, as saltwater infi ltrates the fresh water supply. Rising sea levels would have an effect on coastal settlements and how humans use the coastline by impacting on agriculture and fi shing, as well as tourism. The low-lying coastal areas of southern Asia would be greatly affected, specifi cally the coastlines of Bangladesh, Burma, Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka. What is meant by hard engineering at the coastline? Coasts are managed in order to reduce the impact that wave energy has on them. Coastal settlements need protection, and this can take the form of hard engineering. Hard engineering solutions include the construction of concrete sea walls and wooden revetments, which both aim to prevent erosion. These are expensive to build and last a relatively short time before repairs or replacements are needed. This spit in the Maldives is formed by deposition - Coastal Process Management: Hard Engineering Suggested Activity - Ask the students to research the potential effects of rising sea levels and then to write a newspaper article on the subject from the year A common method used to absorb the energy of the waves is riprap: lines of large boulders which are placed along the shoreline. These are sometimes used in association with wooden groynes, which try to keep the sediment in a particular stretch of beach in front of coastal settlements. A problem with hard engineering is that it is impossible to provide protection to the whole coastline, and by protecting only certain areas, there can be increased erosion for those stretches of coastline that are unprotected. What is meant by soft engineering at the coastline? Soft engineering is a less expensive, and possibly more sustainable, solution to the problems caused by coastal processes. Instead of attempting to prevent them, they work in tandem with them. Beach nourishment involves replacing sand that has been removed, and stabilizing it by building fences or planting marram grass. Beach nourishment is also more in keeping with the natural landscape. A relatively new technique is managed realignment, where a stretch of coastline is left for the sea to reclaim, rather than spending money and resources on attempting to fi ght the inevitable. As a result, new wetlands and salt marshes are created as the sea gradually moves inland. - Coastal Process Management: Soft Engineering 5
