  1. HOW DO COASTS CHANGE? By Andi, Kiran and Lucy

  2. People, especially children love playing around rocky areas such as coasts and beaches, but will there be any in the future?... Over many years, erosion has changed this land. This power point will leave you more aware of erosion!

  3. What causes erosion? Strong waves crash against the coast line, wearing it down. They also carry sand, which acts like sandpaper, and pebbles which break off bits of rock.

  4. What else does erosion cause? Erosion causes caves, stacks and arches. Caves can be fun to play in, meanwhile arches can be an amazing experience to swim through. Stacks are good for standing and looking at brilliant views. So although erosion can be unhelpful it can be pretty and fun!

  5. What is a coastline? A coastline is the edge of land where it meets the sea or ocean.

  6. Although erosion is bad, it makes the coastline how interesting and how it is today. We hope you are now more aware of erosion.

  7. GLOSSARY • Arch – A natural arch or bridge made of stone from the process of erosion. • Groyne – A low wall or a timber barrier to prevent erosion and drifting. • Sand – A loose granular substance typically a pale yellowy-brown, from the erosion of rocks. • Stacks – A column of rocks standing in the sea, remaining after an erosion of cliffs.
