10 visit to The 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
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 Studland Beach * Sandbanks * Bournemouth * Durdle Door * Stair Hole * Old Harry's Rocks We used a sheet to record the information collected in each area. These included a grid reference, the landforms present, the rock type

Below is a diagram of Studland Dunes and beach, showing the different parts of the beach (Fig. 2) Fig. 2 Studland dunes and beach [IMAGE] Winds create waves that ripple across the surface of lakes and seas until they break on the shallowing bottom and crash into the shore. In many areas, prevailing winds produce
The 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
Tourism's impact on the Hengistbury Head and Mudeford Spit Area Hypothesis The hypothesis that my group have chosen to investigate is: "Tourism has impacted along the Hengistbury Head and Mudeford Spit area. This has resulted In more coastal problems." Throughout this piece of coursework, I will gather information from sources to either agree, or disagree with my chosen hypothesis. These are the areas that I will be investigating: · Tourist Facilities · Reasons why tourist
