Questions Revision 4.5

Question 1

Q1. Why is the sea level rising and the coast flooding?

Answer 1

The sea level rising and the coast floodings have come down to climate change.

Question 2

Real answer Q1

Answer 2

Coastal flooding is caused as of rising sea levels. Sea levels rise as of warmer temperatures. Water in oceans expand as it gets warmer. Higher sea levels would mean that coastal areas are flooded more frequently.

Question 3

Q2. How bad will sea level get by 2100 and how will it affect different places around the world

Answer 3

It will affect places that have weak rock and will erode coasts more easily than before. If sea levels get higher by 2100 erosion will be more destructive and frequent

Question 4

Real answer Q2

Answer 4

Sea levels by 2100 will get worse in places like holderness. There, there is a lot of weak rock so therefore by 2100 most of holderness might be gone. Obviously, the more the sea levels rise, the worser it will get

Question 5

Q3. Why will storms get worse with climate change?

Answer 5

Storms will get worse as of climate change because as of climate change the storms will be frequent

Question 6

Real Answer Q3

Answer 6

Climate change will make storms worse because it will make storms more frequent. Climate change will cause waves to have energy which will make them more destructive

Question 7

Q4 How will storms and sea rise affect erosion rates

Answer 7

As of climate change affecting the frequency of sea rise and storms more erosion will happen.

Question 8

Q5

Answer 8

Storms and sea level rise will affect the people and the environment because equipment such as fishing boats will be destroyed and habitats will also be destroyed. Environmentally, seawater has a high salt content and as of this organisms can be damaged or even killed

Question 9

Q6- explain how groynes and sea walls work.

Answer 9

Groynes work to protect a certain area from erosion and sea walls protect cliffs from erosion.

Question 10

Real answer Q6

Answer 10

Groynes work to stop longshore drift and it transports sediment along the coast. Groynes also encourage deposition of sediment on beaches. Sea Walls reflect wave energy to the sea and stopping it hitting the cliffs

Question 11

Q7- Explain how beach replenishment and slop stabilisation work.

Answer 11

Beach replinishment is adding sediment to a beach builds up the beach height. Slope stabilisation is vegatation is planted by laying geo-meshes and planting grasses and shrubs- the roots can stabilise soil. Drainage pipes are placed which reduces water pressure and prevents saturation.

Question 12

Q9- what is the difference between hard and soft engineering

Answer 12

Hard engineering aims to stop natural processes and soft aims to work with natural processes

Question 13

Real answer Q9

Answer 13

Hard engineering aims to stop natural processes such as LSD in order to stop erosion. However, soft engineering aims to work with natural processes by building bigger beaches and improving cliff drainage
