2. Interactions between oceans and coastal places
How coastal places are shaped by their interactions with oceans
Physical influences on coastal landscapes, including waves, tides, sediment supply, lithology, vegetation, subaerial processes and wave processes (littoral drift, hydraulic action and abrasion)
The characteristics and formation of coastal landforms of erosion and deposition, including wave cut platform, cliff, stack, spit and beaches
Advancing and retreating coastlines, including the role of isostatic and eustatic processes, and the associated landforms (relict cliff, raised beach, fjord)
Review from MYP Oceans unit:
- Name the 5 oceans
- Describe 2 types of waves
- Name and describe coastal landforms
- What is longshore drift (littoral drift)
- Name different types of erosion
- What were the main conclusions of your Kamakura beach project?
