Yr13 - Wednesday

Reminder about some of the coasts work that we started before the summer:

The Coast as a System
Waves
Tides
Sediment Cells
High and Low Energy Coastlines
Concordant/Discordant Coastlines
Erosional landforms (especially those wave-cut platforms!)
Depositional Landforms
Landforms related to sea level change

And the best news of all.... Coursework is packaged up and gone!!! Well done!!!!!

Periglacial Landforms

Research yesterday into the main landforms and features that you are likely to find in a periglacial region...

Some sites that might be useful:

Although you might well find a selection of other strange things as well, searching Flickr for the names of the various landforms and features will likely produce some good photographs to give you a clearer idea of what the features look like. Although I've just searched it for "pingo" and not found anything, the Geography Teachers' Resources Group on Flickr that I mentioned might be useful as well.

Today...

Some very good mini-lessons today - well done.

We looked at rias, fjords, raised beaches and relict cliffs. We talked about eustatic and isostatic sea level change (we will talk about this more at a later date).

We also looked at geos, blowholes, cracks, caves, arches, stacks, stumps, headlands and bays, wave-cut notches and wave-cut platforms. We also considered concordant and discordant coastlines.

Make sure that you are clear about all of these!

The revision website that Laura mentioned is www.revision-notes.co.uk - there is some useful stuff on there but I've just spotted several mistakes in the bits I've looked at so be careful!! The S-Cool site that I have mentioned before is also handy.

If you are in the group that were not ready today, make sure that you are sorted for Friday (I will definitely be in school, and so there will definitely be a lesson).

Also, a reminder about Wales money/permission slips... Someone asked if you can pay all the money at once - absolutely you can if you/parents are happy to do that!! The sooner it's sorted the better!
