the process of Earth’s surface, e.g. rock or soil, being worn away and transported from its original site

landforms are natural features created by processes such as erosion or deposition

the geology of an area is its physical structure and the rocks and minerals that exist there

a measure of the quantity, frequency or speed at which something happens or occurs

This unit teaches pupils how physical and human processes shape our coastline. Pupils will also learn about the threats and challenges coastlines face in a warming world.

Coasts: what shapes life at the coast?

Which term refers to rock being worn away?

rock carried by waves knock against a cliff face and wear it down

waves force air into cracks on a cliff face weakening the rock

rocks carried by waves knock against each other

Put the coastal landforms in the order that they are formed.

{{}} tells us about the type of rock at a coastline.
