(a) (i) Use Figure 1 to compare the shoreline changes shown at Location 1 and Location 2. Humans interact with the world around us every day, but some of our actions are more harmful than others. Variation of expense with what is damaged Candidates demonstrate application of knowledge and understanding to evaluate the extent to which coastal processes (and their associated landforms) impact positively on human activity. How do humans use the coast. (a) (ii) Suggest one social loss associated with coastal erosion. AO1 content encompasses knowledge and understating of one management strategy. A new study suggests that exposure to coastal environments can play a significant role in boosting human health and well-being, due to the therapeutic effects marine and coastal landscapes have. Easy to interpret? There is a shift in voting patterns, with more voters choosing to vote for parties with the better green and blue credentials. [6]. Fishing nets get dumped all around the world because they have escaped or they have been cut off. The coastline is rapidly eroding at an average of 1.8 metres a year. (b) Discuss the impact of either eustatic or isostatic sea level changes on the development of one coastal landform. magnitude of process changes with spatial scale whether the reduction of impacts of human activity has been successful 21. examination of how human intervention e.g. Relevant responses may include: Size of particles - some places consist of particle sizes easier to erode by wind e.g. But if we add humans to these beaches what do we get. Candidates may make arguments, using evidence, to show that positive impacts on human activity outweigh negative impacts or conversely that negative impacts outweigh the positive. Relevant responses could include: Cliff collapse in the south of the photo 2. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution. able to erode more effectively, 19. This may include: Dams built for flood control and water catchment along the rivers leading to these coasts inhibit the transport of large grained . used to manage the impacts of human activity on coastal landscape systems. 15. the role of physical objects at the strand line Traeth Mawr, 17. The impacts of this scourge will last a lot longer. There have been many disastrous chemical spills at sea and from industry on land, affecting animals immediately via ingestion, or long term, in changes to reproduction cycles and other biological processes. content encompasses the application of knowledge and understanding to evaluate the relative importance of geology in the development of selected erosional landforms. Comprehensive introduction to human-landscape interactions from preindustrial to postmodern eras. Human Impact on Coasts. It was not long before attempts to control erosion resulted in various types of structures such as jetties, groins, and seawalls. Candidates may refer to the fact that where successful management strategies are implemented, negative impacts are mitigated. Knowledge and understanding of conditions and process of deposition -Retail, Addresses the impacts of humans on landscapes and landscapes on humans, including themes such as resource management, degradation, sustainability, and meaning. In this paper, we comparatively evaluate changes in the positive and the negative ecological elements of Shenzhen's coastal zone in the rapid urbanization process to understand impacts of human activities. 3.6 billion People live near or around a coast. There are two types of coastal management: Hard engineering - this involves building structures to protect the coast. With increased urbanisation, tarmac and other manmade land surfaces contribute to petrol, diesel and other harmful chemicals easily flowing into rivers or directly into the Ocean. Groynes have been eroded away Line graph The content will depend upon the impact chosen and may include: Protection of cliffs by a variety of management strategies - groynes, sea walls etc. Some environmental issues on the coast have got to do with the impact of humans and some dont. geographical variations in success Ability to show change over time Encyclopedia of Earth Science Series.
