Why does Hornsea have so many sea defenses?
It has a very small population
It is a tourist destination
It has many farms that need protecting
Famous people live there
How do groynes prevent erosion?
They deflect the energy of the waves
They provide platforms for fishing
They trap sediment and build up the beach
They increase long shore drift
Where is erosion occurring the fastest?
Flamborough Head
Hornsea
Mappleton
Cowden
What equipment is needed to measure groynes?
A meter ruler
A clinometer
Annotated photos
A flow meter
Why do Shawn and Yvonne think erosion has increased at Cowden?
More destructive waves are hitting the coast
The groynes at Mappleton are trapping sediment
Weathering has made the cliff softer
