A2 Geography Coastal Environments Revision Notes (Physical)

This resource is a full set of revision notes on the CCEA A2 topic of coasts. It includes subtopics such as coastal zone, swell, sea, fetch, how do waves break on the shore, constructive and destructive waves, beach morphology, wave refraction, tides, erosional processes, transport, longshore drift, coastal landforms, eustatic change, isostatic change, emergent and submergent landforms, threat of rising sea levels due to climate change, impacts e.g. Nile delta, case stuy on Kiribati, reasons for management, shoreline management plans, cost benefit ratios, environmental impact assessments, hard and soft engineering strategies and case study on south Devon and Dorset. It is an excellent resource for both students and teachers. It can be used by students in their own private revision. I developed this resource when revising for my own A2 exams, in which I received grade A*. It can also be used by teachers in the classroom as notes when they go through these topics together with their class.
