11. Process, Time, Landforms And Landscapes (relationship) Flashcards
1
Q
Time.
A
High frequency/low magnitude- longshaw drift
Low frequency/high magnitude- cliff collapse
Changes over time due to climate change
2
Q
Process.
A
Geomorphological and marine processes operate in a particular environment
3
Q
Landforms.
A
Processes combine to form a range of landforms specific to the coastline
4
Q
Landscapes.
A
Within a landscape, landforms may be linked
Eg erosion in one area leads to deposition in another
5
Q
Geographical context.
A
Human and physical factors vary over space to create landscapes comprising of landforms
6
Q
What factors have made the coastal landscape how it is today?
A
Local tectonic processes Sea level change Climate change Changing ocean currents Natural disasters Changing sources, types and amounts of sediment Changing nature of human activity
