1. What are Human Causes for the Holderness Coast eroding?
(3 POINTS)

  • Building on Cliff - Increases runoff over cliffs Increase in Sprawling - more houses and space is needed Management - Trapping sediments, decreasing beach, Increasing Erosion
  • Climate change - Increasing sea Levels Building on Cliffs - Increasing runoff over cliffs, decrease rigidity of cliff
  • Climate Change - Increasing strength of waves Large Fetch - Powerful destructive waves and winds No management in place - meaning erosion is not being stopped

2. What are the Physical Causes for the Holderness Coast Eroding?

  • Chalk- dissolving in water increases sediment transportation Storms - powerful destructive waves hit coastline Dominant waves and wind - Persistent and destructive waves cause serve erosion of coast
  • Geology - weak material, increases erosion Storms - Destructive waves and powerful winds hit the coast Dominate wind and waves - Persistently hitting the coast
  • Geology - Weak Material, Increases chance of slumping Storms - Heavy Precipitation and powerful winds could cause dramatic erosion Large Fetch - this causes optimal waves hitting the weak coastline
