This is a presentation I have used with my year 11 students who are looking at the impacts of coastal processes and landforms on people. The students also had a handout to go alongside it with some further details about the Holderness Coast and the use of laptops to do their own research.

1. HOW DO COASTAL
LANDFORMS AFFECT THE
LIFE'S OF PEOPLE?
GCSE – OPTION PAPER - COASTS

2. LESSON OBJECTIVES
CONTENT
• IDENTIFY VARIOUS WAYS IN WHICH
COASTAL LANDFORMS AND
PROCESSES CAN AFFECT HUMANS
BOTH POSITIVELY AND NEGATIVELY.
• EXAMINE THE EFFECTS OF COASTAL
EROSION ALONG THE HOLDERNESS
COAST.
SKILLS
• LITERACY
• MAKE NOTES FROM A SERIES OF VIDEOS ON
THE EFFECT OF COASTAL EROSION ON THE
HOLDERNESS COAST.
• ANNOTATE A SKETCH MAP TO EXPLAIN HOW
COASTAL LANDFORMS AFFECT PEOPLE.
• DRAW A SKETCH MAP USING A VARIETY OF
MAPS.

3. What?
How?
Where?
Holderness
Coast
Why?
When?
Who?

4. TASK
• CREATE AN ANNOTATED MAP OF THE HOLDERNESS COASTLINE TO EXPLAIN
HOW COASTAL LANDFORMS AND PROCESSES AFFECT THE LIFE'S OF PEOPLE.
• YOUR MAP MUST BE HAND DRAWN.
• YOU WILL NEED TO NAME THE LANDFORM/PROCESS AND THEN EXPLAIN HOW
IT AFFECTS THE LIFE’S OF PEOPLE.

5. Holderness Coast - How do coastal landforms affect the life's of people?
Introduction
Flamborough Head
protects coastline around
Bridlington from the NE
wind therefore reducing
coastal erosion. This has
enabled the town to
develop a tourism
industry worth £146
million.

6. THE INTRODUCTION
• USING YOUR SPIDER DIAGRAM, CREATE AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CASE
STUDY.
• YOU WILL NEED TO INCLUDE:
• WHAT IS TAKING PLACE?
• WHERE IS IT?
• HOW QUICKLY IS THE COASTLINE ERODING?
• WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS THIS CAUSES?

7. THE MAP
Create a map to show the key
features of the Holderness
Coast. You will need to include:
- Main settlement.
- Physical features e.g.
Flamborough Head and
Spurn Head.
- The geology of the area.
- The direction of the wind
and longshore drift.
- The location of the old
coastline.

8. ANNOTATION
• ANNOTATE YOUR MAPS TO SHOW
HOW THE PHYSICAL LANDFORMS OR
PROCESSES HAVE AFFECTED
HUMAN ACTIVITY IN THE AREA.
• ON THE MINI WHITEBOARDS
BRAINSTORM SOME OF THE WAYS
COASTAL LANDFORMS HAVE COULD
HAVE AFFECTED HUMANS IN THE
AREA.

9. ANNOTATION
• TRICK TO ANNOTATION IS….

10. • FLAMBOROUGH HEAD PROTECTS THE COASTLINE AROUND BRIDLINGTON
FROM THE NORTH EASTERLY WINDS, THEREFORE, REDUCING COASTAL
EROSION. THIS HAS ENABLED THE TOWN TO DEVELOP A TOURISM INDUSTRY
WORTH £146 MILLION.
