Coasts

2 Study Figure 2.

(a) Describe the physical and human features of the coast shown in the photograph. (10)

(b) Describe the fieldwork and research you would undertake in order to investigate changes in coastal land use over time. (15)

(c) Using examples, explain why the methods of coastal management vary from place to place. (10)

2 Study Figure 2.

(a) Suggest how geographic information systems (GIS) help us understand the need for different types of coastal management strategies. (10)

(b) Many places are experiencing an increased risk of coastal erosion and flooding.

Describe how you would design a programme of fieldwork and research to investigate the effectiveness of coastal management schemes. (15)

(c) Examine the value of sustainable and integrated approaches to coastal

Coasts

2 Study Figure 2. (a) Suggest reasons why the two resorts have developed in different ways. (10) (b) Describe the fieldwork and research you would undertake in order to investigate the impacts of coastal development.(15) (c) Using examples, explain why managing coastal environments increasingly relies on a spectrum of approaches from ‘do-nothing’ to hard engineering.(10)

Coasts

2 (a) Describe how physical factors lead to a variety of coastal environments.(10) (b) Study Figure 2.Comment on the advantages and disadvantages of the two approaches toevaluating coastal defences. (10) (c) Describe how technology (digital camera, websites, GIS etc), and any otherequipment could assist in the fieldwork and research in either one of thefollowing: Increasing risks from coastal floodingIncreasing risks from coastal erosion (15)

Coasts

2 (a) Study Figure 2.Suggest the range of evidence that could be used to show that coastlines such as this have experienced rapid erosion. (10) (b) For one named stretch of coastline, comment on the success of coastal defences. (10)

(c) Describe the fieldwork and research you undertook to investigate coastal development over time. (15)

Coasts

2 (a) Study Figure 2.Describe the factors that have made the coastal areas shown attractive for development. (10) (b) Describe the fieldwork and research you undertook to investigate the pressure of human activities on the coast. (15) (c) Using examples, explain how coastal development can lead to environmental costs. (10)

Coasts

2 (a) Study Figure 2.Comment on how the degree of conflict varies between different coastal activities.(10) (b) Describe the results and conclusions of your fieldwork and research into coastal development. (15) (c) Using examples, explain why sustainable approaches to coastal management are used. (10)

Coasts

2 Study Figure 2.(a) Using examples, comment on how Figure 2 could be used to help understand the choice of coastal management strategy. (10) (b) Describe the fieldwork and research you used to investigate a range of coastal management schemes.(15) (c) Using examples, explain how coastal development can have economic costs and benefits.(10)

Coasts

2 (a) Study Figure 2.Comment on the evidence in Figure 2 which suggests that both locations are examples of crowded coasts. (10) (b) Using examples, examine the factors that have led to economic and population growth in some coastal locations. (10) (c) Describe the fieldwork and research you undertook to investigate one of the following: Rates of coastal erosion Degree of coastal flood risk (15)
