Paper 1. Coastal Landscapes Revision. OCR A Level Geography.

Which is described as the collection of loose rock at the base of a slope?

Shore platforms slope _______ at angles between 0° and 3°

Which is an example of a fjord?

Where can several blowholes and over 50 geos be found?

Ocean currents have a significant impact on coastal landscape processes

Sediment budget is the relationship between erosion and what other process?

Which is the collective name for all material produced by weathering?

What type of coastal system feature is traction?

Which type of mass movement occurs in areas of torrential rain where ground has little vegetation cover?

Which type of mass movement involves saturated material suddenly moving so whole cliff sections move?

Which does the rate of mass movement NOT rely on?

Which is an example of a ria?

How high are Flamborough’s chalk cliffs?

Which describes the chemical and physical composition of rocks?

Which is not an example of hard engineering?

How much lower were temperatures at the start of the Pleistocene (100,000 ybp) compared to today?

What is your case study for intentional economic activity?

Which was closer to the end of the Pleistocene when sea levels began to rise?

Which will least affect raised beaches after their emergence?

How are delta's formed?

If sea levels rise by 0.6m in next 100 years, how will rias and fjords be modified?

At a cliff, what forms after destructive waves and undercutting occurs between high and low tide levels?

Which physical factor is related to the gravitational pull of the moon?

Flocculation typically occurs at wave-cut platforms

Which is associated to destructive waves?

What is your case study for unintentional activity?

What is your case study for a high energy coastline?

Which is NOT a main physical factor affecting coastal systems?

Which are ocean currents least likely to impact?

What type of coastal system feature is onshore sediment?

Ravenscar and Ness Point headlands can be found north and south of where?

Areas devoid of the vegetation are called saltpans

Freeze-thaw occurs because ice occupies 9% more volume than water so exerts pressure within the joint

Robin Hoods Bay and Flamborough Head are examples of concordant coastlines

Rain grabbing CO₂ in the air to create carbonic acid and react with calcium carbonate in rocks is called...?

Which is not a common type of delta?

The wave-cute platforms at Robin Hoods Bay slope by 1° but how wide are they?

Which is a tolerant plant that would be found in a salt marsh?

Rias are submerged river valleys. Which course(s) of the river are drowned?

If temperatures rise significantly, which would have more impact on the modification of raised beaches?

Sediment eroding from a beach during a storm is an example of positive feedback

Which are NOT found at the Nile Delta?

Which produces 6-8 waves per minute?

South-westerly winds moved Chesil Beach sediment 50km until attaching to Isle of Portland.

How much did sea levels rise by at the end of the Pleistocene (Flandrian Transgression)?

At the start of the Pleistocene (100,000 ybp) much water was locked as ice. What impact did this have?

Fjords are submerged glacial valleys. How deep is the water between the steep, cliff-like valley sides?

Which landforms were most affected by the start of the Pleistocene?

What type of coastal system feature are beaches?

What type of coastal system feature is longshore drift?

Waves break when shallow water is reached so the base is slowed by friction and water spills forward

How will shingle beaches at Chesil be modified if sea levels rise of 0.6m in next 100 years?

At the start of the Pleistocene (100,000 ybp) much water was locked as ice. How much did sea levels fall by?

What is your case study for a low energy coastline?

What type of coastal system feature is wind energy?
