Study Notes
Humanities Term 1 Revision
- Midterm exam will cover coasts, with 25 marks for geography and 28 marks for history.
- Learning objective: To revise coasts.
Coasts
- Definition: The land along the sea/ocean.
- Key Terms: Fetch, Storm Surge, Cave, Stack, Hard Engineering, Soft Engineering.
Fetch
- Definition: The length/distance the wind blows over water.
- Impact: Longer fetch = bigger waves.
Storm Surge
- Definition: Coastal flood of rising water caused by low-pressure weather systems.
Cave
- Definition: A hole in the cliff.
Stack
- Definition: A vertical block of cliff left after an arch collapses.
Hard Engineering
- Definition: Man-made structures used to protect the coast.
Soft Engineering
- Definition: Techniques using natural materials to reduce coast erosion.
Wave Processes
- Erosion: Waves wear down the coast.
- Transport: Waves move eroded material.
- Deposition: Waves drop material in sheltered areas where they lose energy.
Erosion processes
- Hydraulic action: Force of water entering cracks in rock.
- Abrasion/Corrasion: Waves throwing material against rock.
- Attrition: Chunks of rock breaking into smaller pieces.
- Solution: Water dissolving soluble material in rock
Transportation: Longshore Drift
- Definition: Movement of sediment along the coastline.
- Processes: Swash (movement up the beach) and backwash (movement down the beach).
- Direction: Backwash is at right angles to the beach. This creates the longshore movement.
Formation of Coastal Features
- Stack formation: Arch forms, arch enlarges, arch collapses (remains as a stack), stack erodes further (becomes a stump).
- Cracks and Caves: Waves cause weaknesses at base of headlands through hydraulic action and abrasion, this creates cracks, cracks widen to form caves.
- Arch formation: Caves become larger, cracks appear above the cave on top of headland, creating an arch.
- Stump formation: Stack collapses; further erosion leaves the stump (or stack).
Coastal Protection Strategies
- Hard Engineering: Sea Walls, Groynes, Riprap/Rock Armour, all aim to protect the coast from erosion.
- Soft Engineering: Beach Nourishment, Managed Retreat.
Coastal Management (Further points)
- Examples of soft engineering techniques: Beach nourishment, placement of groynes, and managed retreat.
- Cost of different approaches.
- Environmental impact.
Tudor England
-
Monarchy: The order was Henry VIII -> Edward VI -> Mary I -> Elizabeth I.
-
Mary I: Known as "Bloody Mary"; persecuted Protestants.
-
Education: Different social classes had different access to learning. Wealthy learned Latin, religion, etc. while less wealthy focused on practical skills needed for work.
-
Entertainment: Banquets, music, dancing, theatre (Shakespeare) were widespread; all reflecting the wealth and power of the ruling class and Tudor society.
-
Portraits: These were used to demonstrate the power of the Monarchs.
-
Key terms: quills (writing instruments), Spanish Armada (fleet sent by Spain).
Further Activities
- Activity 1: Create Flashcards with key terms and definitions.
- Activity 2: Draw a timeline of Tudor monarchs and include key events.
- Activity 3: fill-in-the-gap sentences about the order of the monarchs, key events and facts (e.g., Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Defeat of the Spanish Armada).
- Activity 4: Design a poster on Tudor entertainment; showcasing activities, illustrating, and researching.
- Other Activities: Tudor Quizzes. Tudor Family Tree.
