  • (24) 2d) Examine the role of different physical processes in the formation of the coastal landforms.
    • discordant = ALTERNATING bands of more & less resistant rocks
    • helped cr8 the headland shown consisting of more resistant rock = is less easily eroded.
    • arch will have been formed where erosional processes (e.g. hydr action) attacked areas of the headland with more faults/ joints.
    • caves made on either side of the headland deepened & then joint 2gthr = arch.
    • arch which joined the stack to headland but roof of arch collapsed, leading to the stack being separated from the headland.
  • (24) 2d
    ● headland extends approximately 1.5km
    ● end of the headland is located at approximately 057826
    ● beach along northern side of headland stretches approximately 1.2km
    ● beach is sand & shingle beach
    ● along south of the headland, there's cliffs shown by contour lines being very close together
    ● landforms are located at The Foreland & are 200m in length
    ● large block of chalk with arch in it; separated from another block of chalk
  • (24) examine the causes of the river flooding
    The flooding was caused by a range of human and physical causes.
    ● physical causes include the underlying geology which is clay: an impermeable rock which has low rates of infiltration & percolation leading to more surface runoff
    ● heavy rain in the previous few weeks will have saturated clay; reducing infiltration & percolation rates
    ● was a heavy storm on 12th January which may have exceeded infiltration
    rates leading to rapid surface run-off
    ● river channel was unable to accommodate all this water & burst its banks.
  • (24) examine causes of the river flooding
    ● evidence of large-scale flooding: surrounding flood plain partially covered.
    ● underlying rock type is clay which is impermeable
    ● there was a large storm on the 12th January
    ● floodplain is between 1-1.5km wide at this location.
    ● floodplain is very flat; shown by widely spaced contours.
    ● two weirs shown on the map.
  • (24) assess importance of different impacts of tropical cyclones in a names emerging or developing country
    CYCLONE CHIDO
    • reduction to crop yields: malnutrition & death for people and livestock
    • longer journey to find water: taking children out of SCHOOL & farmers out farms; high birth rates
    • migration: to search for a way to survive; breaks community
    • long grass used for roofs can’t grow so some homes are unprotected
    • low water levels = loss of habitat for wildlife & fish
  • (24) assess importance of different impacts of tropical cyclones in a names emerging or developing country
    • may reflect track of the cyclone & the amount of wealth & technology in a country
    • social impacts may be greater in some parts of developing countries – eg loss of life may be greater amongst poorer communities
    • poor warning systems in areas where groups live & less ability to respond
    • longer-term impacts greater: less able to respond rapidly
    • environmental depend on the physical landscape & strength & intensity of the cyclone
    • vary depending on quality of defence systems in place
