Holderness Coast Case Study

Start with the coastal environment

The mind map Coastal environment: The Holderness Coast offers a starting point. It asks where the coast is, what affects the coastal system and why erosion happens rapidly. It also introduces the coastal processes that have shaped the coast.

Use those questions to organize your studying. After looking at the map, try explaining each point in your own words before returning to the resource.

Explore erosion and management

The mind map Holderness coast, cliff collapse and coastal management looks at reasons for rapid erosion, including rock type. It also brings cliff collapse and management into the same resource. Compare its explanations with the questions in the coastal environment map.

For another way to check your recall, the Geography: Cliff Collapse - Holderness flashcards ask about the coastline, land loss and reasons for rapid erosion. Work through the questions after studying the maps, then return to the relevant map when you want to check an explanation.
