Coastal Landforms and Features Related to the Rock Type of the Area Coastal landforms and features are related to the rock type (geology) of the area. To collect information for hypothesis1 we visited a number of places. These are all recorded by number on the geological map of the Isle of Purbeck. This also served as a location map (see M1 for details). * Man O War Cove * Lulworth Cove * North Swanage Bay * South Swanage Bay * Redend point * North Studland Beach * South
Effects of Human Activity on Coastal Landforms Human activities add another layer of complexity to the natural processes of coastal lands and materials. These activities may have direct or indirect effects on our changing coastlines. They may effect sources of new sediment to the coast and the movement of sediment within the coastal environment. Sediment starvation caused by river and coastal management is one effect of human activities on the coast. For some coastal regions, such as the Pacific
Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world, stretches over 120km along Queensland’s Southern Coast. The island was first included on the World Heritage list in 1992 because of its rare and outstanding natural features, including its pearl white beaches, colourful sand cliffs and tall rainforests. Although, many people believe that Fraser Island is beginning to become a concern due to the main issue, tourism. Four-wheel drives have a huge impact on the island, churning up sand almost constantly
An estuary is a stretch of water that is created out of fresh water from rivers and it mixes with salt water which comes from the ocean. In an estuary the fresh water is blocked from going into the ocean by mainland and salt marshes. But the mixes of salt and fresh waters make an amazing environment that has all different types of animals and plants of all kind. There are many types of animals that live in an estuary. But there is a select few that I will talk about. Found in southern Europe & the
Stradbroke Island is approximately 40km East of Brisbane and forms part of the Eastern boundary of Moreton Bay in South East Queensland. The island is 38km long and 12km at its widest point (Natural and Human Environment, 2014). It is filled with a diverse range of ecosystems and has a rich variety of fauna and flora, including the mangrove ecosystem at Myora Springs. Myora Springs is a wetland site, located north of Stradbroke Island, with freshwater springs directly connected to the mangrove community
Towra Point Nature Reserve is a place of many different land habitats. It is located in Southern Sydney, New South Wales, in eastern Australia. It produces the largest estuarine wetland complex in NSW and is a protected nature reserve. It Represents around half of the remaining mangrove area near Sydney, and most of the salt marshes area remaining in the region as well. They are also most likely one of the most major contributors to the food web within Botany Bay and provide habitat for many important
Positioning / Branding Positioning of the sunshine coast generally depends on specific factors such as visitors, expenditure, length of stay, upcoming source markets. Branding totally helps the Sunshine coast to get more and more loyal customers. With the proper advertisement and offered policies and services, Sunshine coast get a huge crowd in the time of holidays especially. Development The development plan of new nature is based on the iconic experiences of Sunshine coast which provide the competitive
efforts are not 100% effective and while the island will continue to transform; with human intervention, we hope to mitigate this change to a minimum. Barrier islands are seen mainly in coastal settings with three main characteristics. First, they usually have a low-gradient continental shelf next to a low-relief coastal plain. The second characteristic is an abundant sediment supply. Both shelf and plain are made up of unconsolidated sediments, typically providing the barrier islands with an abundant
This Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority introduces basic information to familiarize the audience; it discusses what ocean acidification is and the effects of it on the Great Barrier Reef. This site focuses on four issues which consist of climate change, declining water quality, extreme weather and the impact of fishing marine debris. The author’s intention is to present an overview of the long-term effects of ocean acidification and explains the significant impacts of a changing climate on

different landforms. The shape of an area of land is also known as its topography. The topography of an area of land could be flat, sloping, hilly, or mountainous. Elevation, relief, and landforms determine an area’s topography. Elevation is the height above sea level. Relief is the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest parts off an area. A landform is a feature of topography formed by the process that shape Earth’s surface. All landforms have elevation and relief. A landform region
Coastal Landforms Description Report Part 1: Coastal landscapes Statement of inquiry: Coastal landscapes are dynamic places and are constantly being changed and shaped by natural geomorphological process by the impact of human activities. Q1: Describe the plants and animals that can be found in coastal landscapes. Provide 2 examples of each. Include pictures and a few interesting facts about each example. A1: A coastal landscape is the area where land meets the sea or ocean. There are a variety
ASF Integrated Resort proposal. This report will discuss existing countermeasures used to preserve the Spit, natural and man-made. Located on latitude -27.941 and longitude 153.426 on the northern end of Queensland’s Gold Coast, The Spit is a coastal landform that is particularly popular with numerous stakeholders due to the sheer numbers of tourist it attracts. (Postcodes-Australia, 2017) The ASF Consortium proposals included construction of accommodation facilities, recreational facilities and protection
the Earth. It is commonly a result of impact from wind, water and human activity. Erosion can often be categorized into a range of processes, including hydraulic pressure, abrasion, attribution and corrosion. (See Appendix A). Erosion often causes landforms such as cliffs, rocky platforms, headlands, caves, stacks and arches. (See Appendix B). When waves break, it carries material on and off the shore. When more material is carried in the backwash, the wave is destructive. This is the process of hydro-orientated
30 000 km (refer to Figure 1), but unfortunately it is gradually disappearing due to erosion and coastal management issues. This is not only an issue to Australia but to its people as over 85% of Australians live and rely on the coast to keep there houses stable. Thus, this makes coastal management crucial in sustaining Australia’s coastline. 1.2 Aims The Gold Coast is a prime example of where coastal erosion is present, it is also known for its high-rise buildings constructed around the coast. 4

Isle of Purbeck we found out that it is well known for the unique geology of the landforms, which is another attraction for tourists. We investigated in further depth the following sites: The Blue Pool Old Harry Rocks Studland Bay ------------ Lulworth Cove [IMAGE] In the next several pages I will explain the geology of The Isle of Purbeck itself and will explain the geology of the other landforms we visited whilst on our visit. Also in the next couple of pages I will explain
Case Study of Fluvial Landforms and Processes All rivers aim to reach equilibrium so they are balanced and when they are in equilibrium from source to mouth a smooth curve is created called the graded long profile. However, as you can see from the diagram many rivers such as The Afon Glaslyn, do not acheive equilibrium and reach their graded long profile: Long Profile of Afon Glaslyn River with graded long profile [IMAGE][IMAGE] Rivers become out of equilibrium when there is a change
¬Introduction of the Site The area located in western rural border of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, which is part of Loxley Valley. The andscape of the Loxley Valley is unique and kind of complicated. Bradfield Parish Council Offices (2004) stated that “The landscape ranges widely. Undeveloped land includes pasture and arable fields, woodland, heath and moors. Water features include the river, streams, reservoirs and old industrial millponds. The built environment ranges from small clusters of farm
There are many different glacial landforms created by glacial erosion, one of these landforms is U-shaped valleys or glacial troughs. This glacial landform has many distinct characteristics. One of these characteristics is that it has very steep valley sides caused by the glacier as it moves down the valley eroding the sides of the valley by the processes of abrasion and plucking. Abrasion is when the boulders and moraine carried by the glacier rubs and erodes the valley side as it physically moves
