Question 1

give an example of a characteristic landscape and how the processes have shaped the landforms

Answer 1

Dryho’laey, Iceland
it has black sand and pebbles foremd from tetctonic activity in the form of basaltic lava. (resistant sedimentary rock)
the sediment transported to the coastline by rivers, glacial melt and wind
Changes in the water cycle and isostatic change have created raised stacks, isolated from the mainland and vast coastal plains elevated 120m above sea level
This has allowed new vegetation to grow on the exposed land, attracting species such as the Atlantic Puffin to the area.
Energy enters the coastal system from the uninterrupted fetch from the atlantic ocean and responsible for the active erosion of the coastline
