Ideas for structure…

  • Describe the pattern of rates of erosion along different parts of the coastline in Fig 1a…which places have the highest rates and which have the lowest rates?  Is there an overall trend as you move from north to south?  Don’t forget to use raw data and simple calculations to illustrate the patterns.
  • Are there any anomalies e.g. a place with very low erosion surrounded by places with very high erosion?
  • Use Fig 1b and Fig 1c to try to explain the pattern - one is from an area of very high erosion and one is from an area of low erosion.  What can you see in the images that would explain this?  Remember to mention specific things you can see.
  • The focus of the question is on processes, so be sure to mention lots of them…can you find evidence of erosion, transportation, deposition, weathering, mass movement in the sources?  Use the proper geographical terminology.
