IGCSE 9-1 Coastal Environments: Processes and Landforms

IGCSE 9-1 Coastal Environments: Processes and Landforms
This classroom teaching presentation :

• defines what the coast is
• describes the marine (erosional) and terrestrial (sub-aerial) processes at work on the coast
• explains the differences between constructive and destructive waves and how they are generated
• explains the process of longshore drift
• outlines the factors affecting the coast
• makes the distinction between erosional and depositional landforms; concordant and discordant coasts

The presentation is invaluable for teachers looking to guide students through coastal geography topics for the first time at IGCSE level and also for AS level students that have not previously looked at coastal geography and need it for ‘Crowded Coasts’ or ‘Coastal Conflict’ units.

The PPT includes video links for explanation of processes and landforms from the excellent TimeForGeography series.

There are also classwork/homework questions included and explained.

This presentation does NOT include coastal protection measures or policies or any management topics.
