Coasts: Wave-Cut Platforms

I used this resource in a IGCSE class studying the Coasts topic, focusing on Wave-Cut Platforms.

26 slide PPT includes:

• Revision questions about coastal landforms: stacks, arches, headlands, bays
• Revision slides about the main types of coastal erosion - hydraulic action, abrasion, solution, attrition.
• slide with a written explanation of the formations of a wave-cut platform using key words: erosion, notch, undercutting, overhang, cliff retreat
• slide with embedded video showing an animation of the wave-cut platform formation process
• various photos and diagrams showing the process

The last slide has an annotated sketch and written task that can be completed using the information from the PPT.

This filled a 60 minute lesson.
