Multiple Choice
Managed retreat allows an area of land to flood to protect other areas. Which of these describes the likely use of the land nearby?
There is a large town behind the beach, so it doesn't matter if it floods.
There is a holiday park behind the beach so it doesn't matter if it is eroded.
There is low quality farm land behind the beach so it doesn't matter if it floods.

Multiple Select
Why are beaches important? (Choose 2)
They cause long shore drift.
They attract visitors, and therefore bring economic opportunities to an area.
They can protect the coastline from erosion by forming a barrier.
They are made by destructive waves.
6.
Multiple Choice
In Bournemouth, groynes have been constructed across the beach. How do groynes work?
They trap sediment being carried by longshore drift and so build up the beach.
They form a barrier between the sea and the cliffs.
They absorb wave energy so the cliff is not eroded.
