Coastal landform analysis

Model answers included for the following questions:
Assess the role of sub-aerial processes in the development of coastal landforms. (9)
Assess the role of erosional processes in the development of coastal landforms. (9)
Assess the role of transport pathways in the development of coastal landforms. (9)

Under the previous A level Geography specification exam questions often focused on describing landforms and explaining the formational processes. However, the new specification expects students to be able to assess the role of different processes in the creation of coastal landscapes. This work sheet helps students to achieve this.

The resources includes:

1. An outline of how wave cut platforms form.
2. A systems analysis activity on wave cut platforms.
3. Exam questions and models answers to support students in assessing the role of different processes in the creation of coastal landscapes.
