1 Coasts revision
2 Identify one factor which influences wave strength (1 Mark) Factors which affect wave strength
3 Identify one factor which influences wave strength (1 Mark) Factors which affect wave strength Swash Backwash Note: Backwash is always at right angles to the beach
4 Describe the features of a constructive / destructive wave (2 Mark) Describe the differences between a destructive and constructive wave (4 marks) Different types of waves
5
6 Typical exam question: Give and explain two ways in which rivers can cause erosion (4 Marks) Hydraulic action Abrasion Attrition
7 Explain a type of weathering that could affect rocks along the coastline (2 marks) Types of weathering
8 Describe a type of mass movement (2 marks) Types of mass movement rock slide
9 Describe a type of mass movement (2 marks) Types of mass movement - slumping
10 Describe a type of mass movement (2 marks) Types of mass movement rock fall
11 Headlands and Bays Which rock is the hard rock and which is the soft rock? How do you know this?
12 Explain the processes which lead to the formation of headlands and bays (4 marks) Explain how geology can affect the shape of the coast line (4 marks)
13 BAY HEADLAND
14
15 Wave Cut Platforms The land left at the foot of the cliff is called a wave cut platform. Wave cut platform
16
17 Explain the processes which lead to the formation of wave cut platforms (4 marks) Explain why cliffs retreat (4 marks) Wave cut platform animation
18 Explain the processes which lead to the formation of wave cut platforms (4 marks) Explain why cliffs retreat (4 marks)
19 Caves, stacks and arches Some of the coastlines most striking scenery is caused by the formation of caves, arches and stacks The sea attacks the foot of the cliff and erodes the areas of weakness ( cracks ) The crack gets larger and develops into a small cave
20 The cave is widened and deepened until it cuts through the headland to from an arch The arch is continually eroded until it eventually collapses. This leaves part of the cliff detached on its own ( a stack ). Erosion continues until the stack is worn down to a stump
21
22 Explain the processes which lead to the formation of a stack (4 marks) The formation of a stack animation
23 Explain the processes which lead to the formation of a stack (4 marks)
24 Recap quiz name the features
25
26
27 Describe 2 process of sediment transpiration by the sea (4 marks) Types of transportation Constructive waves form features of deposition due to their weak backwash
28 Explain the process of longshore drift (4 marks) Explain the processes that lead to the formation of beaches (4 marks) Longshore drift k/education/clips/z6 jb4wx
29
30 Explain the process which lead to the formation of spits (4 marks) The formation of spits
31
32
33 What is a bar? If a spit joins one part of the mainland to another it is called a bar. For example, there is a bar at Orford Ness in Devon.
34
35 Explain the process which lead to the formation of bars / tombolos (4 marks) The formation of bars The formation of tombolos
36 Explain the process which lead to the formation of bars / tombolos (4 marks) The formation of sand dunes
