- Limitations
- Beach material
- Human error
- Judging the size categories
- Miss out on data
- Solution: don't use systematic sampling
- Human error
- Long shore drift (L.S.D)
- You need to throw it the exact distance
- There's a huge overestimate involved
- Pebbles sink, oranges float
- Solution: cover a pebble in glow in the dark paint and lob that into the ocean instaed
- Pebbles sink, oranges float
- There could be a confusion between the oranges
- Sediment size
- Human error
- Only the rocks on the surface are picked up
- A bias for the rocks that are shaped how humans consider pebbles to look like
- Beach profile
- Human error
- Wheel on the clinometer gun got stuck and was inaccurate
- Solution: use better equipment (talking to you here teachers, get with the times)
- Beach material
