2. The Questions:
1) How are the cliffs at Dunwich being
weathered and eroded?
2) Is there a relationship between the beach
gradient and the pebble size and
roundness?
3) What is long shore drift? What is the
evidence for it happening at Dunwich?
4) Your own investigation

5. • Why is it important to look at this
question?
• Think about the main enquiry question:
How is the coastline at Dunwich
changing? Should it be managed?
• Where did you go to answer this question
(on the beach near to the Heath)?
Section 1 - Introduction
6. Section 2 - Methods
~ Describe how you collected the data, are
there any limitations of this method?
7. Section 3 Results
• What are the cliffs at Dunwich like?
• Include your field sketch and your
photographs, all of which must be
annotated.
8. Section 4 – Analysis of results
• Describe and explain the processes of
erosion and weathering that have taken
place and what you have found.
9. Section 5 – Conclusion
• How did the cliffs at Dunwich form and
why are they so easily weathered and
eroded?
• Explain your answer to the question
posed. Use your results. What are the
rates of erosion? How will they effect
Dunwich in the future?
