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.
