1) The UK coastline has been divided into coastal cells and sub-cells to simplify understanding coastal processes. The East Riding coastline is designated as sub-cell 2a.
2) Cliff erosion along the East Riding coast is complex and dynamic, driven by random wave and tidal forces. Erosion produces sediment that is sorted and transported south by these coastal processes. Beach levels fluctuate in response, impacting erosion rates.
3) Erosion occurs in four zones - the cliff face, nearshore beach, offshore clay face, and protected offshore seabed. Cliff erosion averages 1.7m/year while offshore erosion likely matches this rate, totaling around 3 million cubic meters of erosion
Holderness good overview including detailWill Williams
Here are the key coastal management schemes at Swanage and their purposes:
1. Groynes - To trap sediment moving along the shore by longshore drift, building up the beach in front of the groynes.
2. Sea wall - To act as a hard barrier protecting the town from wave attack and sea level rise.
3. Beach replenishment - To replace sediment lost from the beach through coastal processes, maintaining a wide beach as protection.
4. Planting marram grass - To stabilise sand dunes and prevent/slow blowouts, protecting the hinterland from flooding and erosion.
5. Offshore breakwaters - To reduce wave energy reaching the shore by causing waves to break
The Holderness Coastline of England suffers from the highest rates of coastal erosion in Europe due to its soft, easily eroded geology and exposure to strong winds and waves from the North Sea. Several villages have been lost to coastal erosion over the centuries. While some areas implement hard coastal defenses like seawalls and rock armor to combat erosion, these strategies are costly to maintain and can worsen erosion elsewhere down the coast. Integrated coastal zone management is now sought to balance protection of infrastructure with the natural shoreline processes.
The Holderness Coastline in eastern England has some of the fastest erosion rates in Europe, averaging around 2 meters per year. The geology of the area, consisting of soft glacial till deposited over 12,000 years ago, is highly erodible and is being rapidly worn away by the sea. The village of Mappleton provides a case study of coastal management efforts, where rock groynes were constructed in 1991 to reduce erosion, but have shifted the erosion problem further south. Spurn Point at the southern end of the coastline consists of material deposited by longshore drift and acts as a barrier, though its position is now fixed through artificial defenses.
The document discusses coastal landscapes and processes. It includes figures and questions about coastal defense schemes, the formation of coastal landforms, and methods of protecting coastlines. Specifically, it addresses a planned coastal defense for Lyme Regis, how stacks may form at the end of headlands, features of coastlines formed by erosion, and descriptions of coastal defenses shown in photographs.

The document discusses the structure and composition of the Earth, including the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. It also discusses plate tectonics and the different types of plate boundaries: constructive, destructive, conservative, and collision. At destructive boundaries, oceanic plates are subducted under continental plates, forming volcanoes. At collision boundaries, continental plates push together to form mountain ranges. At constructive boundaries, plates move apart and new crust is formed.
Montserrat is a small Caribbean island where the Soufriere Hills volcano began erupting in 1995, destroying much of the southern half of the island. The most intense eruptions occurred in 1997, covering over 2/3 of the island in ash and forcing over half of the population to evacuate. The eruptions closed the airport and port, destroyed infrastructure like schools and hospitals, and devastated the island's economy by ruining the tourism and agriculture industries. In response, the British government provided aid funds, the Montserrat Volcano Observatory was established to monitor future volcanic activity, and the capital was relocated to the safer northern side of the island.

It also discusses the Three Gorges Dam in China, the largest hydroelectric project in the world, which will generate thousands of megawatts of electricity but required the relocation of over 2 million people.
The document summarizes problems and solutions in Sheffield, England. Key problems included traffic congestion, lack of parking, declining retail, poverty, unemployment, and derelict housing and land especially in the inner city. Solutions involved demolishing old buildings, attracting new offices, improving parks, roads and public transport, regenerating areas, and creating new housing, jobs, and cultural/retail opportunities through large investments starting in the 2000s. The Sheffield Development Corporation helped clear derelict land and improve communities, though high rise housing caused further issues and unemployment remained high in some areas.
Volcanoes occur at boundaries where tectonic plates meet, such as divergent boundaries where plates move apart or convergent boundaries where they move together, or at hot spots where the Earth's crust is thinner. When two plates are pushed together at a convergent boundary, one plate may be subducted under the other due to its greater density, melting rock and forming magma. Pressure builds as magma rises into the magma chamber until an eruption releases gases and material.
This document discusses types of resources, problems with non-renewable energy, and methods to reduce pollution and conserve resources. It defines renewable and non-renewable resources and examines fossil fuels, pollution, acid rain, and global warming. Suggested solutions include using alternative energy sources, reducing pollution emissions, improving energy efficiency, and recycling resources.
Coastal areas face problems of erosion and flooding due to rising sea levels and increased storm activity. This threatens homes, businesses and tourism. Coastal defenses use hard engineering like seawalls and groynes, or soft engineering like beach nourishment and managed retreat, to protect coastlines. However, all methods have disadvantages such as visual impacts or increasing erosion elsewhere. Coastal resorts also struggle with declining visitor numbers from overseas competition and require solutions like improving attractions to revitalize their economies.
Tourism is an important industry in Kenya, providing jobs and foreign income. Popular tourist attractions include wildlife reserves like the Maasai Mara and coastal beaches. While tourism has economic benefits, it also has social and environmental costs like disturbing wildlife, pollution, and forcing some tribes off their lands. Some efforts are being made for more sustainable eco-tourism like the Bamburi Nature Trail and Basecamp Masai Mara which support local communities and conservation.
Managing The Physical Environment 2 1200425132497774 3whiskeyhj
The Peak District National Park in the UK has experienced significant growth in tourism due to factors like increased leisure time and wealth. This has created pressures from traffic, overcrowding, and development. Honeypot sites like Castleton attract large numbers of visitors. While tourism provides economic benefits, it also causes issues like congestion, high housing prices, and damage to the natural environment. Sustainable tourism aims to allow current and future visitors to enjoy the area by managing development, traffic, and respect for the local community.
Acid rain is formed when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide gases released from burning fossil fuels react with water and oxygen in the atmosphere. These acids can be transported long distances and affect areas far from where the emissions originated. Acid rain damages forests and fish populations by making soils and waterways too acidic. It also erodes buildings by accelerating the chemical breakdown of stone. Methods to reduce acid rain include installing flue gas desulfurization systems in power plants, increasing the height of smokestacks, improving energy efficiency, using cleaner-burning fuels, and developing renewable energy sources.
Rapid urbanization is occurring in cities in less economically developed countries (LEDCs) due to rural-urban migration. This causes megacities and expansion of informal settlements known as shanty towns. Rio de Janeiro is used as a case study, where rapid growth has caused issues like lack of adequate housing, sanitation problems, and increased crime. Solutions implemented in favelas like Rocinha include self-help housing schemes providing materials for residents to upgrade homes.
The document discusses urban land use models and zones. It provides information on the concentric zone model and sector model, describing typical land uses like commercial, residential, and industrial that tend to group together in urban zones moving from the urban center outwards. Key zones discussed include the central business district, inner city, inner and outer suburbs, and rural-urban fringe at the edge of cities.
There are several ways to manage and control flooding, including controlling water levels with dams and pumping stations, building barriers like embankments and levees, altering river channels by straightening or widening them, and controlling land use around rivers through zoning and afforestation. Hard management strategies involve large-scale engineering works like dams, levees, dredging, and channel alterations. Soft strategies work with nature and are more sustainable options like afforestation, flood plain zoning, and flood warning systems.
Flooding regularly occurs in Bangladesh due to several factors:
1) Bangladesh has a low-lying delta region with 70% of land under 1m above sea level, making it prone to flooding from rivers and monsoon rains.
2) Heavy monsoon rains from May to October cause rivers like the Ganges and Brahmaputra to overflow their banks.
3) Melting snow from the Himalayas in spring adds additional water to rivers flowing through Bangladesh.
