Sediment cell

• Holderness coast line - sediment cell 2
• High levels of weathering, mass movement. Europe's fastest eroding coastline
• His erosion instigates positive feedback and deposition
• Source region = Flanborough head
• Transfer Zone = Holderness coast
• Sink region = Spurn head
• Transfer via longshore drift, currents and backwash
• Sink = bar
• Sediment cells are stretches of coastline where the movement of

  material is mainly self-contained.
• Material becomes part of a sediment cell through coastal erosion

  processes, e.g. attrition, hydraulic action, abrasion and corrosion.
• Flanborough head is a closed sediment cell
