Lulworth cove and flambrough

• What type of coastline is Lulworth Cove known for?

  Concordant coastline
• What geological feature characterizes the bedrock around Lulworth Cove?

  It is sedimentary and layered
• How has the bedrock around Lulworth Cove been affected by tectonic movement?

  It has folded and twisted into position
• What type of rock is Portland rock?

  Less resistant sedimentary rock
• What landforms result from the erosion of Portland rock?

  Bays, arches, caves, stacks, and stumps
• What geological processes have occurred along the coastline?

  Glacier melt and river erosion
• How do bedding planes or fault lines affect river flow?

  They create areas of weakness for flow
• What is the primary reason rivers flow through weak rock strata?

  Due to gravity
• How are bays formed in relation to Weldon beds?

  Due to low resistance and slow erosion
• What type of coastline is Flamborough known for?

  Discordant coastline
• What is the geological structure of Selwicks Bay?

  Chalk headland with boulder clay overlay
• What is the average erosion rate of the geological structure at Flamborough?

  1 cm per year
• What processes contribute to the erosion of cliffs at Flamborough?

  abrasion and hydraulic action
• What effect does attrition have on sediment?

  Reduces size for easier transport
• What can marine processes cause on top of cliffs?

  Cracking leading to rockfall
• What geological features are present at Selwicks Bay?

  Faults and a large wave cut platform
• What is notable about North Landing's geological structure?

  Thinner layers of chalk and more flint
• How does wave action affect North Landing?

  It causes greater erosion and faulting
• What are the key geological features of Lulworth Cove and its surroundings?

  • Sedimentary bedrock laid in layers
  • Portland rock leads to erosion
  • Differential erosion creates various landforms
  • Fault lines influence river flow
  • Concordant coastline characteristics
