1. L.O: To know and explain how features of deposition are formed.
How is the coastline shaped by the processes of deposition and transportation?
How did this land form?

2. Starter – Recap from last lesson
Match the image with the most appropriate label. A B C D 1 3 2 4
1. The waves erode FAULTS (cracks) in the headland.
2. The waves eventually erode through the headland to form an ARCH.
3. The arch becomes unsupported and collapses to form a STACK.
4. A STUMP is formed from the collapsed stack.

3. Name the Feature 2 1 4 3

4. Quiz
What is the process called when chemicals (such as salt) break down the structure of rocks?
What is attrition?
How does the process of hydraulic action erode cliffs?

5. This is a cave (‘Stair Hole’).1 2
This is a cave (‘Stair Hole’).
This is an arch (‘Durdle Door’). 3 4
This is a stack (Old Harry’s Rocks).
These are stumps.

6. Landforms of Deposition
These are features that are formed where sand, shingle and mud accumulate faster than they can be moved by the waves (i.e. the waves lose energy required to transport it)
Beaches
Spit
Bar
Tombolo
Sand dunes

7. Beaches
Beaches are the most common depositional landform and they are caused by the deposited sediment between storm and low tides

8. How are spits formed?

9. How are spits formed?

10. SPITS
These pictures are in the wrong order. Which order should they go in?

11. Now copy these down and write a sentence for each to explain what is happening2 1 5 3 4

12. Real Life Spits
Barmouth Spit
Sandbanks Sand Spit

13. Bars, Tombolos and Cuspate Forelands
Slapton Sands
A coastal bar and
Lagoon
Chesil Beach
A tombolo

14. Try to Describe what each feature looks like
What could have caused each feature to form?

16. What are these features?

17. Sand Dunes
These form when the wind blows the dry sand from beaches inland and it builds up in ridges running parallel to the beach. They get bigger over time and may even be colonised by salt loving plants (e.g. marram grass).

18. Plenary – True or False
Longshore Drift is the wearing away of rocks by waves
A spit is a feature formed by deposition
Most prevailing winds in the UK come from the South West

19. Extension - Key Words
Long Shore Drift – The movement of sediment along the coast by wave action
Prevailing wind – The most frequently occurring wind direction in a location.
Spit – an embankment of deposited sand or shingle that is attached to the land at one end
Deposition – when sediments are put down or dropped by the sea at it loses energy
Transportation – the movement of sediment
Bar – an area of deposited sediment that stretches across a bay leaving a lagoon behind it
Tombolo – an area of deposited sediment that stretches from the mainland to join up with an island
