Y12 - The Littoral Zone

Use your notes that we have made so far to answer these 3 questions:

1. Which subdivision will experience the most natural processes? Explain your thinking
2. Which subdivision will experience the most human processes?
3. Outline the natural and human processes that affect the dynamic equilibrium of the littoral zone

The 3rd question requires about one side of A4.

Below are the video links that we watched this morning, to help you understand the dynamic equilibrium of the littoral zone.
