Study Notes
Humanities Term 1 Revision
- Learning Objective (LO): To revise coasts for the midterm exam.
- Exam Structure:
- 25 marks for Geography
- 28 marks for History
- Coasts: The land along the sea/ocean.
- Fetch: The length/distance the wind blows over water, affecting wave size.
- Storm Surge: A coastal flood caused by rising water resulting from low pressure weather systems.
- Cave: A hole in a cliff face.
- Stack: A vertical block of cliff remaining after an arch collapses.
- Hard Engineering: Man-made structures built to protect coasts.
- Soft Engineering: Using natural materials to mitigate coastal erosion.
Coastal Processes
- Waves: Caused by wind dragging on water, the fetch is the length of water affected by wind. Longer fetch and greater wind speed result in larger waves with more energy.
- Erosion (wearing down):
- Hydraulic action: Water forces into cracks, breaking rocks.
- Abrasion/Corrasion: Rocks and other materials carried by waves wearing down cliffs.
- Attrition: Rocks hitting each other and becoming smaller.
- Solution: Water dissolving soluble materials from rocks.
- Transportation: The movement of eroded material by waves. Longshore drift is one process whereby sediment is carried along the coast.
- Deposition: Dropping of material in sheltered areas where wave energy is reduced.
Formation of Coastal Features
- Cracks & Caves: Waves cause weaknesses at the base of headlands, forming cracks that erode into caves.
- Arches: Larger cracks and caves erode over time, leading to the formation of arches.
- Stacks: The roof of an arch collapses, leaving a vertical rock stack.
- Stumps: The stack erodes further, becoming a stump.
Coastal Protection Strategies
- Hard Engineering:
- Sea Walls: Large structures built to prevent waves from reaching the land behind.
- Groynes: Wooden or concrete structures built perpendicular to the coastline to trap sediment.
- Rip Rap/Rock Armour: Large rocks placed along the shoreline to absorb wave energy.
- Beach Nourishment: Adding sand or shingle to widen the beach and reduce wave power.
- Soft Engineering:
- Managed Retreat: Allowing the coast to erode naturally in some areas.
Tudor England

Additional Topics*:
-
Entertainment: Banquets, theatre (Shakespeare), music, and dancing were important parts of Tudor life, often reflecting social and political values.
-
Education: In Tudor England, education varied by social class. Wealthy children often learned Latin, religion, reading, and music.
-
Tudor Monarchy: The order includes Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. Important events include the religious break from the Catholic Church under Henry VIII, Mary I's persecution of Protestants, and Elizabeth I's defeat of the Spanish Armada.
-
Portraits: Portraits of Tudor rulers, like Elizabeth I, were used to showcase strength, power, and royal image.
-
Historical Figures: Important figures of the era.
-
Activities: Flashcards, timelines, and other activities can help with reviewing information.
