Coastal Environments - Transportation and Deposition

53-Slide PPT covering the Transportation and Deposition processes.

PPT includes:

• key word definitions
• detailed explanation of Longshore Drfit, including written explanation, annotated diagrams, photographs and a video
• explanation and photo examples and satelite images of the landforms that are created by longshore drift: spits (simple and compound) sand bars, and tombolo’s (including cuspate tombolos)
• a note on the role of wave refraction in the creation of tomobolos

Task sheet included has example past paper questions.

I used this for an A-Level class studying the Coastal Environment topic. A lot of this material could be adapted for an IGCSE class as well.

There is plenty of material here to use as a basis to generate more task sheets, assignments etc.
