The focus of this unit is geomorphological patterns and processes. Pupils learn about the process of weathering and investigate the stages of development of a coastal landform. They go on to investigate the environmental planning and management of coastal areas and consider the tensions between development and conservation. Through this work they are introduced to two techniques they may not have met previously - cost-benefit analysis and impact matrices. The unit draws heavily on the Optional tests and tasks for geography (SCAA, 1996).
