Coastal Processes and Landforms flowcharts

Coastal Processes and Landforms flowcharts

These flowcharts break coastal topics into connected steps. Coastal Erosion: Sea arch and stack follows wave erosion from a line of weakness to caves and beyond. Spit Formation traces the movement and deposit of sediment. Another flowchart follows the formation of sea cliffs and wave-cut platforms.

For a different starting point, Flows of Energy connects waves, energy and swash. The collection also includes flowcharts on estuaries, headlands and bays, and the Cliffs of Moher.

Study with a flowchart

Start with Spit Formation if you want to follow a sequence from sediment movement to deposition. Read each step, then cover the chart and try to explain the sequence in your own words. Return to any step you missed.

When you want a fuller explanation, switch to notes on the unit page. A quiz can then help you check what you remember. Open a flowchart and follow its steps.
