- Identify wave types and characteristics.
- Explain coastal processes including weathering, mass movement, erosion, transportation, and deposition.
- Analyze how geological structure and rock type influence coastal forms.
- Describe the formation of erosional landforms such as headlands, bays, cliffs, platforms, caves, arches, and stacks.
- Describe the formation of depositional landforms such as beaches, sand dunes, spits, and bars.
- Identify major landforms of erosion and deposition using an example section of UK coastline.
- Evaluate the costs and benefits of hard engineering strategies (e.g., sea walls, rock armour).
- Evaluate the costs and benefits of soft engineering strategies (e.g., beach nourishment, dune regeneration).
- Understand managed retreat strategies.
- Analyze a coastal management scheme in the UK to explain reasons for management, strategies used, and resulting effects and conflicts.
