Introduction
Welcome! This webpage will hopefully provide you with all the information that you will require for learning and teaching coasts at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.
Coastal geography is the study of the dynamic interface between the ocean and the land, incorporating both the physical geography (i.e. coastal geomorphology, geology and oceanography) and the human geography (sociology and history) of the coast. It involves an understanding of coastal weathering processes, particularly wave action, sediment movement and weather, and also the ways in which humans interact with the coast. Coastal geography is that branch of geography, incorporating physical and human geography,which deals with the study of the dynamic interface between ocean and land.
