Chapter 2: Coastal Landscapes and Processes NEXT EDEXCEL GCSE GEOGRAPHY A TEACHING AND LEARNING RESOURCES Figure 2.18 Sea walls are usually made of concrete; the newer ones have a recurved top, like this one at Blackpool. Can cause wave scouring if not positioned correctly. Visual impact – they can be very large structures which have a major impact on the local landscape Ugly – puts tourists off. Very visible – makes residents feel safe. Stops the coastline receding by interfering with the natural processes occurring on the coastline. Cost – £6,000 per linear metre. Reflects and absorbs wave energy. Effective for many years

Chapter 2: Coastal Landscapes and Processes NEXT EDEXCEL GCSE GEOGRAPHY A TEACHING AND LEARNING RESOURCES Figure 2.19 Groynes are usually made of rock or wood like these at St. Bees in Cumbria; they stretch from the coastline into the sea. Keeps beach in place for the tourist industry Can have a visual impact. Effective for many years. Cost – £400 per metre for 1 metre high wooden groyne. Disrupts the natural processes at work on the beach. Prevents longshore drift – sand builds up on one side of the groyne. Difficult to walk along the beach. Unattractive.

Chapter 2: Coastal Landscapes and Processes NEXT EDEXCEL GCSE GEOGRAPHY A TEACHING AND LEARNING RESOURCES Figure 2.20 Rip rap are large rocks placed in front of a cliff; these are below a landscaped cliff at Whitby in Yorkshire. Unattractive. Can be cheap depending on rock type use Dissipates wave energy. Effective for many years Visually intrusive if placed on a sandy beach. Introduces foreign rock types to an area. Not effective in storm conditions. Can make beach inaccessible for tourist

Chapter 2: Coastal Landscapes and Processes NEXT EDEXCEL GCSE GEOGRAPHY A TEACHING AND LEARNING RESOURCES Figure 2.21 Swanage beach in 2005 and after (2007) the placing of sand and pebbles on a beach, known as beach nourishment. May affect plant and animal life in the area. Requires constant maintenance as it is washed away quickly. Disrupts home owners – large noisy lorries regularly visit the area to replenish the beach. Good use of sand dredged from harbours and ports. Provides beach for tourists. Cheap – £6,500 per 100 metres. The beach dissipates wave energy and is the best form of natural defence. Looks natural.

Chapter 2: Coastal Landscapes and Processes NEXT EDEXCEL GCSE GEOGRAPHY A TEACHING AND LEARNING RESOURCES Figure 2.22 Offshore reefs in Norfolk: enormous concrete blocks, natural boulders or even tyres are sunk offshore to alter wave direction and dissipate wave energy. They allow the build up of sand due to the reduction in wave energy. Visual impact – they change the way that the coastal landscape looks. The waves break further offshore, which reduces their erosive power. They interfere with natural processes such as longshore drift. Difficult to install the reefs. Cost – £1,950 per metre. May be removed by heavy storms.
