How does human activity affect geomorphic processes in Swanage? (Select 2)

• the groynes in Swanage Bay have widened the beach and reduced the rate of rotational slumping in the clay cliffs

• the groynes in Swanage Bay have narrowed the beach and increased the rate of rotational slumping in the clay cliffs

• the terminal groyne in Swanage Bay has narrowed the beach to the north of it and has therefore increased the rate of rotational slumping in the clay cliffs

• the terminal groyne in Swanage Bay has widened the beach to the north of it and has therefore decreased the rate of rotational slumping in the clay cliffs

How has climate influenced geomorphic processes in Swanage? (Select 2)

• in the winter erosion at the base of the chalk cliffs may cause rotational slumping

• the exposed wealden beds and greensand (clay) cliff dries out in the hot summer (July 17ᵒC) and the rain (December 94mm) causes rotational slumping

• the vegetation on the chalk cliff may cause biological weathering (July 17ᵒC)

• the vegetation on the chalk cliff may cause biological weathering (January 5ᵒC)

How has geology influenced geomorphic processes in Swanage? (Select 2)

• the wealden beds and greensand (clay) is a soft rock which forms a bay as it is less resistant to erosion

• the wealden beds and greensand (clay) is a hard rock which forms a headland as it is more resistant to erosion

• the chalk is a hard rock which forms a headland as it is more resistant to erosion

• the chalk is a soft rock a bay as it is less resistant to erosion

• 190,000m³ of sand was deposited on the beach

Which 2 facts are correct about longshore drift in Swanage Bay? (Select 2)

• longshore drift is moving beach sediment from the north to the south in Swanage Bay

• longshore drift is moving beach sediment from the south to the north in Swanage Bay

• groynes have more beach sediment built up on the south than the north

• groynes have more beach sediment built up on the north than the south
