Q

What is random sampling

A

A grid is drawn/placed over the area to be studied
The squares which include part of the study area are numbered
The numbers are entered into a random number generator
The samples should be collected as near as possible to the points given

Q

What is stratified sampling

A

Used when the study area includes significantly different parts known as subsets
Is based on the idea that the sample represents the whole population

Q

What equipment would be needed for coast measurements

A

Surveyor’s 25+ meter tape: measuring distances on a beach or between ranging poles when completing beach transects
Compass to measure direction
Ranging poles for beach transects
Clinometer: calculate the angle of a beach
Callipers: measuring pebble size
Quadrat: used to select sediment for sampling
Clipboard for holding recording sheets
Recording sheets
Roundness or angularity charts
Pencil for writing in data, particularly useful if the paper becomes damp
Camera to take photographs of sites and coastal features

16
Q

What is a beach profile

A

use distance and angle measurements to identify the shape of the beach

17
Q

How is beach profile carried out

A

Student A stands, at a safe distance from the edge of the sea, holding a ranging pole
Student B stands holding a second ranging pole, further up the beach where there is a break of slope
Measure the distance between the two ranging poles using a tape measure
Measure the angle between the matching markers on the ranging pole using a clinometer
Repeat the process at each slope break until you reach the top of the beach

18
Q

What is sediment analysis

A

used to examine how beach material is sorted across the width of a beach which links to longshore drift processes

19
Q

The sediment is measured at the beach using …

A

callipers to measure the axes of each pebble

20
Q

How do you measure groynes

A

Use a tape measure and find the height of beach material on either side of a groyne
Measure a minimum of three heights along the beach profile of each groyne
Compare a series of groynes along the length of the beach

21
Q

How to perform the evaluation for the coastal fieldwork

A

where you note how successful, or not, the river investigation was and what you would do differently next time

22
Q

What equipment is needed for the urban fieldwork

A

Record sheets
Interview Sheets
Pencil for completing recording sheets
Camera to take photographs of land use
Digital noise meter
Environmental Quality Surveys
Maps

23
Q

What is the risk assessment associated with urban fieldwork

A

Weather conditions
Working in an unfamiliar place
Traffic
Getting lost
Speaking to strangers
Pollution
Cars

24
Q

How to perform the evaluation for the urban fieldwork

A

which outlines how successful or not the rural environment enquiry was and what could be done differently were it to be repeated
