COASTLINES
What do you need to know?
![Page 2: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The unit can be divided into two parts: Processes and features What people do to protect sections of
coastline that are vulnerable to erosion

How does the sea erode?What are the processes at work?• Corrasion or abrasion• Attrition • Scouring• Hydraulic action• Solution
You also need to know: How the sea sorts material on the beach? What weathering processes are at work on the cliffs?
![Page 7: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What features are produced by these processes of erosion?1 More resistant rock
types e.g. chalk What is the sequence
of their formation? Headlands Caves Arches Stacks Stumps Wave-cut platforms
2 Less resistant rock types e.g. clay
What is the sequence of their formation?
rotational cliff slumping
3 And don’t forget the bays!

How does the sea move material (transportation)?
• You need to understand how longshore drift works along a stretch of coastline
• In what ways does the sea transport its sediment?
Solution Suspension Saltation Traction• What influences the size of sediment being
transported?

When does the sea deposit material?What features are produced by the process of deposition?• Beaches Sand dunes Spits Bars Tombolos
What is the sequence of their formation?
![Page 12: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How can the different processes of erosion alter or damage an area of coastline?
What do people do to protect the coastline, or deal with the consequences of erosion?
![Page 13: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
You need to learn a case study of how the sea is eroding part of the UK coastline.
You will need to know what is being done to protect or ‘manage’ this stretch of coastline.
![Page 14: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What are the causes of erosion on this part of the coastline?
![Page 15: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Key ideas:
Type of rock? Geological structure of the
coastline? Prevailing wind direction? Rate of longshore drift? Global changes in sea levels? Human influences?
![Page 16: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What are the effects of coastal erosion on this part of the coastline?
![Page 17: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Key ideas: How much land has been lost, since when? How many villages and farms have
disappeared? What towns and villages are under threat at the
moment? What specific roads or important industrial sites
are at risk? What tourist or leisure facilities are under
threat? What about the natural (physical) features that
are being eroded away?
![Page 18: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What is being done to ‘manage’ or control coastal erosion along this coastline?
![Page 19: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Key ideas:
Hard engineering e.g. revetments, sea walls, groynes,
tetrapods, gabions, rip-rap Soft engineeringe.g. beach nourishment ‘Do nothing’ or managed retreatHow are the decisions made?Who or what ends up getting protected?
![Page 20: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What are the consequences of coastal management schemes along this coastline?
![Page 21: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Key ideas: Knock-on effects further along the
coastline accelerated cliff erosion accelerated erosion of natural
features (Spurn Head?) prevention of sediment being
carried to other coastlines, both nationally and internationally
Visual impact of hard engineering schemes
![Page 22: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Remember:
This case study has to be in the UK You can use a case study that is local
to you (e.g. Seaford for coastal management schemes)
![Page 23: Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062709/558e5ab01a28abeb388b45f6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
To get maximum marks for a case study question: You must include some real ‘place knowledge’ in
your answer It therefore should not be vague and so could really
be about anywhere along the UK coastline! You should therefore learn some relevant facts and
figures about the stretch of coastline such as the place names, and so on
You must also develop the points you make (explain what you mean) and write fluently and in sentences
You must try and use geographical terminology wherever you can

Good luck, thanks for listening, see you next week!
