    • WHAT ARE COASTS?


    W H AT A R E C O A S T S ?

    • The coast is where land meets the sea.

    • Coasts are shaped and changed by waves


    and humans.
    • Coasts are the worlds’ most populated areas,
    as they offer plentiful resources including
    food, building materials and energy.
    • What are some of the coasts that you know of?

    How are waves created?


    Waves are created by wind blowing over
    the surface of the sea.
    When these waves reach the coast, they
    break and shape the coastline.

    How do waves shape the coastlines?


    They Erode

    THE COASTLINE?
    Coasts are shaped by the sea and the
    action of the waves.
    • Erosion – waves can erode the
    coastline just like a river can erode
    the surrounding area
    • Deposition – waves deposits sand,
    rock and other particles on the coast.
    • Transportation – waves move the
    eroded material up and down the
    coast.
    HOW DO HUMANS
    SHAPE THE COASTLINE?

    Humans change the coasts by building


    on them or using them in other ways.
    • Construction and engineering

    • Development of tourist facilities like


    hotels, campsites, beach activity sites.
    • Creations of dunes (a mound of sand)

    • Creation of hard structures like jetties
