Questions Revision 4.4

Question 1

1. How does coastal management(building groynes for example) affect coastlines down drift

Answer 1

Coastal management affects down drift as it can stop the process happening in one area but it can spread elswhere

Question 2

1. Real answer

Answer 2

Groynes can be bad as they only protect one area and that it can make erosion even worse down the coast. Another example could be a sea wall and it affects down drift by reflecting its wave energy back into the sea and it provides protection for people from down drift

Question 3

2. How does agriculture affect the coastline

Answer 3

Agriculture affects the coastline because it is eroded more each year and the coastline will always weaken

Question 4

Real answer for q2

Answer 4

The farm is chosen to not be protected and it is eroding 2m a year as of that decision.The eroded material then is transported along the coast and it adds to the beach

Question 5

3. How does development of towns affect the coastline

Answer 5

It affects the coastline because it affects the cliffs and makes them less stable

Question 6

Real answer q3

Answer 6

The development of towns affects the coastline because we are building harbours which extracts sediment can affect the stability of the cliffs which have collapsed more

Question 7

4. How has industry affected the coatline

Answer 7

The industry has affected the coastline because of the gas affecting the stability of cliffs

Question 8

Real answer q4

Answer 8

The industy affects the coastline because it can increase the weight on the cliff as of the carbon emissions. This adds to rotational slumping and mass movement. Sand was drenched from the beach and under the sea to build up the height of gas works. As of this it consequently increased the height of the waves. An example of this is Easington Gas works

Question 9

How does coastal management affect the coastline

Answer 9

Coastal management is affecting the coastline because of groynes only protecting a bit of the coastline which will certainly affect the rest of the coastline

Question 10

Real answer q5

Answer 10

An example of coastal management is mapleton. Mapleton is protected by groynes . This has reduced the erosion there but it has sped up erosion down the coastline.

Question 11

Q6. Explain an indirect impact of human use at the coastline

Answer 11

A indirect impact of human use is the gas works and of it is impacting the cliffs by adding more weight onto it

Question 12

Real answer Q6

Answer 12

Easington Gas works affect the cliffs as of carbon emissions produced there. This will cause the cliffs to collapse faster. Sand was drenched from the beach and under the sea to build up the height of gas works. As of this human act it has caused waves to be higher and more destructive
