GCSE CCEA Geography Coastal Environments Revision Notes (Physical)

This resource is a set of revision notes on the CCEA GCSE topic of coastal environments. It includes subtopics such as types of waves; fetch; swash and backwash; coastal erosion; longshore drift; coastal deposition; coastal landforms (headlands, cliffs, wave cut platforms, caves, arches, stacks, stumps, spit, hooked spit); need for coastal defences and methods of coastal management ( sea wall, groynes, gabions, beach nourishment, managed retreat). It includes definitions, diagrams, facts and figures with placxe examples throughout. It also has one case study on defences in Newcastle Co. Down. 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 GCSE exams, in which I received grade A star. It can also be used by teachers in the classroom as notes when they go through these topics together with their class.
