    Group 7 took a trip to New Zealand where they visited the coast. They observed that the coast stretched long distances and had different types of sand, headlands and bays, and some coastal protection. The processes that formed the coastal landforms included erosion and deposition from waves, which caused swash and backwash that deposited materials and longshore drift that transported them. Headlands and bays specifically formed from the continuous erosion of waves, which eroded less resistant rocks faster than more resistant rocks. Coastal management strategies employed included coastal dunes that protected roads from erosion and flooding, and seawalls that protected the coast from strong waves.

    What are the
    characteristics of the
    coast we visited?
     The coast stretches over a long
    distance
     It has different kinds of sand
     It has headlands and bays
     It has some form of coastal
    protection
    What are the processes that
    lead to the formation of the
    coastal landforms observed?
    vEROSION & DEPOSITION of
    the waves have caused the
    coastal landform. The swash
    and backwash causes
    deposition on the coast. At
    the same time, the longshore
    drift transport these
    deposited materials along the
    What are the processes that
    lead to the formation of the
    coastal landforms observed?

     HEADLANDS & BAYS are formed


    by the continuous erosion of the
    waves approaching the coast.
    Due to the difference in the
    resistance of rocks, the less
    resistance rocks erodes away
    faster than the more resistance
    rocks. Hence, headlands and
    bays are formed.
    How successful are the
    coastal
    management strategies
    employed?
     COASTAL DUNES act as a barrier along
    the coast which protects the roads
    against coastal erosion and flooding
    from waves.

     SEAWALLS were also built along the


    coasts to protect the coast against
    strong waves.
