high energy interrelationship of landforms

Question 1

shore platforms and cliffs

Answer 1

when cliffs are eroded - retreat occurs - shore platform - due to tidal range - seasick bay - 400m long - 500m wide

horizontal bedded strata

Question 2

how is interrelationship showED

Answer 2

as for a shore platform to be formed a cliff must be eroded

different rock types will alter speed of retreat

Question 3

Headlands and CASS

Answer 3

headlands such as flambourough head (chalk) - haves waves hitting the headland - have large energy due to 1500km fetch

Question 4

wave refraction

Answer 4

waves are refracted due to friction - therefore exert more of their energy on the headland - leads to CASS formation - green stacks pinnacle

Question 5

what is needed for headlands and bays to form

Answer 5

must be a variation in geology - discordant coastline - robin hoods bay (shale formed in jurassic period) - ravansgvr (sandstone - porous water enters cracks)

Question 6

differences in retreat

Answer 6

wouldn’t form if shale of robin hoods bay didn’t retreat at 0.8m a year - while ravansgvr retreats at 0.1m a year
