Coastline Discord & Wave Impact on Beach Morphology: Newton Academy Exam Insights, Study notes of Geology

Information on the formation of discordant coastlines, as shown in figure 1 from isaac newton academy exam, and how different wave types influence annual beach morphology and sediment profiles, as explained in question (b) of the exam. Figure 2, also from the exam, illustrates the geology of the coast around lulworth cove, dorset, and its impact on recession rates along a concordant coastline, as discussed in question (ii) of the exam.

What you will learn

  • In what ways do different wave types influence annual beach morphology and sediment profiles?
  • What factors contribute to the formation of discordant coastlines, as shown in Figure 1?
