  2. Wave characteristicslocation__________________________ ______________________Group____________________________ Wave frequency (1 minute count – record as tally gates of 5) T = ___________W.P.M Wave Height (ranging pole) 1. 2. 3. 4 5. T = _____________ / 5 = _______ a.w.h

  3. Measuring Caves / Arch /Wave cut platform Cave One (nearest sea) Measuring Arch Cave (inbetween) Wave Cut Platforms Cave (nearest beach)

  4. Longshore Drift / Wave characteristicslocation__________________________ ______________________Group____________________________ Questions • What direction are the waves coming from? • Are the waves constructive or destructive? • Do waves merge to give an extra large wave? • Is the swash moving pebbles up the beach? • Is the backwash moving pebbles down the beach? • Is the water clear? • Is sand or clay being carried in suspension? Longshore Drift

  6. Beach characteristics location ____________________________ state of tide__________________ Questions • Is the beach gently or steeply sloping? • Are their lumps of cliff material on the beach? • Are there groynes on the beach? • If so, which side is the sand highest? Beach profile key: Mud/sand Shingly sand Fine shingle Coarse shingle Small pebbles Large pebbles
