Fieldwork

Question 1

Why did we choose Hornsea as a location to research the human geography enquiry?

Answer 1

• Has a close proximity to the school so will be good for a day trip
• Hornsea has about £8million through tourism so there are obvious economic impacts but not so clear environmental impacts
• popular destination all year round so lots of people for the questionaire

Question 2

What is the presentation method of the physical enquiry (sediment drop) and what are the pros and cons?

Answer 2

Comparative bar chart
Pros
Easy to construct and clear to see the patterns and any anomalies as it was colour coded and had a key. Showed both sides of the groyne on one graph for easy comparison
Cons
X axis only shows categories and the accuracy can be skewed depending on the scale used on the y axis
