The sea sources it materials from various places: cliff erosion, constructive waves, carried down rivers to the mouth and transported by longshore drift. Some beaches have beautiful golden sands whereas others have less attractive shingle, but there is a reason why beaches look as they do. The reason is longshore drift. These worksheets help students to understand the process of longshore drift and the ways sediment is transported by waves and tides.

The water cycle is the never ending movement of water between the ocean, atmosphere and land. Some of the water may be stored in the ocean, on the land or in the atmosphere. This water will be transferred (moved) around the cycle. These worksheets allow students to understand the basic parts of the water cycle using a poem to help order these correctly. They then show their learning through writing a piece which personifies a water droplet trough the cycle.

Spits are extended stretches of beach material, such as sand and shingle which project out to sea, joined to the mainland at one end. A spit is formed due to the coastline changing direction – Longshore drift is the main source of material build up as it brings materials up from further down the coastline. These worksheets look at how spits are formed and the processess, inputs and outputs of spits.

Salt marshes are complex, fragile and one of the most threatened environments on our planet. This is due to their close proximity to industrial, commercial and recreational uses of coastlines. Environmental changes also threaten them by way of climate change and rising sea levels. These worksheets look at what effects salt marshes both human and physically, where they are located and the students can also debate whether salt marshes are a thing of beauty or not.

The sea, action of waves and their processes are what shape our coastlines, with their power being the most significant force of coastal change. These worksheets look at the processes of waves: consgtructive and destructive, coastal ersonsion, transportation and desposition using a varity of different activities to engage the students.

Coastal management depends on the understanding and pulling together of the different people who use the coastline to cope with the physical processes impacting on the area. The different techniques used will have positive and negative impacts depending on their interests. Tourism, industry, fishing, trade and transport are all land uses along the coastline but with varying interests. These worksheets helps students to understand these different interests and how they can cause problems to one another. The different types fo hard and soft enginerring techniques are discussed as well as whether they think our coastlines should be protected or left to develop naturally.

Being able to identify coastal features on a map is an important skill to have as it can often come up in exams. These worksheets help students to use the knowledge they have gathered to identify the features on the map pieces from the additional sheet, sketch the feature and describe how it is recognised.

Destructive waves erode the coastline in four ways. This worksheet looks at these, their descriptions and uses ‘kung fu’ moves to help them remember the key terms as a bit of added fun.

A 24 clued crossword to help students with learning their vocabulary for coastal topics and assessments.

The combination of these are in no way constant and contain a verity of types, shapes and sizes. This worksheet helps students to define a beach using geographical terms and explain how the materials size and shape change as they near the sea, and how this could have occurred

These worksheets look at the large companies and their locations around the work, then focus primarily on a Nike case study in China and the positives and negatives it brings to LEDCs

The Three Gorges is a narrow, steep sided part of the Yangtze River, at five thousand kilometres one of the world’s longest rivers.
