WJEC (B) GCSE Geography Theme 2 Topic 6 How does a headland erode? Click to continue Coastal erosion

WJEC (B) GCSE Geography Theme 2 Topic 6 Headlands form along coastlines in which bands of soft and hard rock outcrop at right angles to the coastline. Less resistant rock (e.g. boulder clay) erodes more rapidly than less resistant rock (e.g. chalk). Click to continue Coastal erosion

WJEC (B) GCSE Geography Theme 2 Topic 6 The following slides show the sequence that takes place when a headland is attacked by wave action. Click to continue Coastal erosion

WJEC (B) GCSE Geography Theme 2 Topic 6 1 Wave-cut notch Waves erode the base of the cliff by hydraulic action and abrasion. In the case of this chalk cliff at Étretat in Normandy, the chalk rock is also dissolved by corrosion. Click to continue

WJEC (B) GCSE Geography Theme 2 Topic 6 Cave Lines or zones of weakness along the cliff erode more quickly than the rest of the headland and form caves. Such wearing away at different rates is known as differential erosion. 2 Click to continue

WJEC (B) GCSE Geography Theme 2 Topic 6 Arch Over a long period of time, the cave erodes deeper into the headland. Another cave forms on the other side of the headland along the same line of weakness. Gravity causes loose rock to fall from the roof of the cave. The two caves finally join to form an arch. 3 Click to continue

WJEC (B) GCSE Geography Theme 2 Topic 6 Stack Agents of erosion continue to work on the rock forming the arch. Eventually, the roof collapses due to gravity, forming a stack. Weathering of the rock also takes place. This stack erodes and weathers further to form a low-lying stump before eventually eroding to sea level. 4 Click to continue

WJEC (B) GCSE Geography Theme 2 Topic 6 Wave-cut platform As the cliff slowly retreats, a gently sloping area of rock is left behind at sea level. This is a wave-cut platform. 5
