8. Think, Pair, Share
You have been learning about geology/rock types, geological structure and shape of the coastlines. We are going to build on that knowledge further. We must understand the rates of erosion at the coastline or rates of recession.
In pairs write down the factors that influence how fast the coastline moves inland.
Think, pair, share!
