Coasts

UNIT

In this lesson we will look at the different types of waves and their characteristics.

Wave types and characteristics

In this lesson we will look at the erosion and weathering processes that occur along our coastline.

Coastal weathering and erosion

In this lesson we will look at the different types of mass movement that occur along our coastline.

Mass movement

In this lesson we will look at transportation and deposition along our coastline.

Transportation and deposition

In this lesson we will look at how headlands and bays form along our coastline. We'll also have a chance to practice the important geographical skill of field sketches.

Landforms of erosion 1: Headlands and bays.

In this lesson we will look at how wave cut platforms form along our coastline. We will look at coastal landforms on a map and practice our maths skills.

Landforms of erosion 2: Wave cut platforms

In this lesson we will look at how caves, arches and stacks form along our coastline before practicing some vital map skills.

Landforms of erosion 3: Caves, arches and stacks

In this lesson we will look at how beaches and sand dunes form along our coastline. We'll also look at fieldwork data and how maths skills can be used to aid our analysis.

Landforms of deposition 1: Beaches and sand dunes

In this lesson we will look at how spits and bars form along our coastline.

Landforms of deposition 2: Spits and bars

In this lesson we will look at the Dorset coastline and it's erosional and depositional landforms. We'll look at the Dorset coastline on a map and practice our map skills.

Landforms on a UK coastline: Dorset Coast

In the lesson we will look at the coastal hard engineering used on our coastlines.

Coastal hard engineering

In this lesson we will look at the coastal soft engineering used along our coastline.

Coastal soft engineering

In this lesson we will look at managed retreat that is sometimes used along our coastline.

Managed retreat

In this lesson we will look at an example of a UK coastal management scheme. We will focus on Lyme Regis and consider why they need to manage their coastline. We will also look at, and practice map skills.

A UK coastal management scheme: Lyme Regis (Part 1)

In this lesson we will continue to look at Lyme Regis as an example of a UK coastal management scheme. We will look at how the hard and soft engineering they used and the resulting effects and conflicts that occured.
