Saji Begum With reference to one or more located coastlines‚ examine the factors responsible for landforms of coastal erosion. (25 marker) Most of our landforms on the coastline are formed because of coastal erosion. But firstly it is essential to understand what coastal erosions are. Coastal erosion involves the breaking down and removal of material along a coastline by the movement of wind & water. They are sorted in two categories‚ Marine processes and Sub aerial processes. A few methods of erosion

Describe and Explain a Programme of Research to Investigate the Environmental and Ecological Impacts of Coastal Development Development along the coast is very popular due to the natural beauty of the area‚ and the opportunities that the coast has such as importing and exporting. Development includes things such as the building of human settlements‚ which would be encouraged by the fact that there would be jobs in the form of primary industries such as fishing but also in docks‚ which would be

Factors affecting the rate of coastal erosion Rock types - Soft rocks like clay or mud‚ erode faster than hard rocks like granite. This is because hard rocks are more resistant to erosion. This means that the hard rock is left sticking out into the sea as a headland. The headland is now vulnerable to the force of destructive waves but shelters the bays close by from further erosion. Wave type - Destructive waves cause more erosion than constructive waves. This is because backwash is more powerful

LAB ACTIVITY: Coastal and Continental Temperature Ranges ANALYSIS: 1) I can tell from the temperature curves that the cities are all in the Northern Hemisphere because it ranges from low to high then back to low again starting in January. 2) The city that has the greatest yearly temperature range is Bismarck‚ N.D. 3) The cause of the greatest range is because the location is located most near the pole. 4) The rates of heating and cooling do not differ much for New York

Global Warming And Its Effects On The Coastal Areas of Bangladesh [pic] [pic][pic] GLOBAL WARMING: Global Warming is the rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere‚ including the surface air and oceans. In simple words global warming is when the Earth heats up. It is caused mainly due to increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. The greenhouse gases‚ include carbon dioxide‚ nitrous oxide‚ methane‚ water vapor‚ traps heat and light in the

The Effects of Sea-Level Rise on Coastal Salt Marshes and their Associated Ecosystem Services Katelyn M. Nyberg Introduction Climate Change The Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) has observed an increase of 0.19 meters of global mean sea-level rise from 1901 to 2010‚ with “about 70% of the coastlines worldwide projected to experience a sea level change within ±20% of the global mean” (IPCC 2014). Dramatic increases in sea-level are produced by increasing temperatures which cause glaciers
