Introduction
Studying the coat provides the opportunity to conduct fieldwork in coastal regions. This fieldwork could investigate the geographic characteristics of the coast and how that change over time.
- From looking at the video clip on WebQuest, what direction the prevailing wind blows from?

- From looking at the video clip on WebQuest, what direction do the waves predominantly enter the system?

- Describe the geographic characteristics of at least two natural environments and explain how they are developed by natural processes, including extreme natural events.

- List the natural land forms/coastal features you can see at Bondi Beach.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Describe the location of Bondi beach.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- What type of coats is Bondi Beach?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- What can be done or should be done to reduce or minimize the negative impact on the beach area? You will need to include as much detail as possible in this section. Consider impacts such as housing developments, litter and tourism.

- Study figure 1.
(a) Describe the physical and human features of the image.

(b) Describe the fieldwork and research you would undertake in order to investigate changes in coastal land use over time.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(c) Using examples, explain why the methods of coastal management vary from place to place.

Label the features on figure 1. Figure 1
- What type of coastal landform pictured in figure 2?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Figure 2
(a) Describe how physical factors lead to a variety of coastal environments.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(b) What causes erosion?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(c) Describe how technology (digital camera, websites) and other equipment could assist in the fieldwork and research in either one of the following
- Increasing risk from coastal flooding
- Increasing risk from coastal erosion
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- What makes coasts attractive?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Label the features on figure 3.
Figure 3
(a) Describe what has caused this feature to form.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Fill in this close passage by looking at the video chip published on WebQuest.
Coastal ________ create patterns resulting from the competition for space. This can lead to pressure on coastal environments. The sea and _______ can distort the patterns of land use. The coastline _______ of parallel bands of hard and soft rock which were perpendicular to the ______.
As a result of differential _________, the bands of soft rocks are eroded much more quickly than the bands of resistant rock to form _______ and headlands. The headland is eroded back as a result of wave ___________. Caves, arches, stacks and stumps will form which is eventually eroded away. The bay will advance as deposition will take place at their heads to form __________.
Eventually, the coastline will become straight again and the entire ________ of differential erosion will start again and result in an irregular coastline.
