Worksheet time: 10mins
How do you know that Groynes are effective?
They are tall
They trap sediement (pebbles) and stop waves from reaching the promonade
They are made from rocks and wood
They cost a lot
Which of the following coastal defence methods are not found in bexhill?
Sea walls
Rip Rap Groynes
Wooden Groynes
Gabions
What are the two background theories behind the physical fieldwork?
Coastal landforms
Long shore drift
Coastal engineering
River processes
Which piece of data collection did you not complete?
Measuring the size of sediment from the sea line to the promonade

Which isn't an advantage of presenting data as a bar graph?
Easy to create
Easy to compare data
Shows the mean of the data
Easy to read
Which of the following is not a benifit of dispersion graphs?
Shows the spread of data from the mean
Clearly shows anomalies

Did the data collected for beach width prove or disprove the hypothesis?
Disprove
Prove
The data collected on shingle height either side of the groynes proved the hypothesis.
True
False
Which of the following is not a problem found when collecting data on beach width
Human error reading the tape measure
The tape measure being too small
Not enough people to answer questionnaires
the wind blowing the tape measure around making it hard to take results accurately
Which of the following was not a problem when completing pebble size sampling
Human error using the clinometer
Stones that had been thrown down from the higher ridges of shingle
Not knowing how to measure pebble width consistently
Pebbles being of varying different shapes
Which of the following would not have made the data more accurate, valid and reliable?
Repeat the tasks on a less windy day
Deciding on a point away from the swash & backwash to measure the width of the beach
Finding secondary data about the costs of the defences to make a judgement regarding the effectiveness of the groynes
Repeat the activities at the weekend
Which of the following wasn't a risk found at Galley Hill?
Strangers when asking people questionnaires
Cliffs & cliff collapse
The sea
Climbing over groynes
Which three of the following reduced the risks faced at galley Hill?
Not throwing stones
Staying away from the cliffs
Not crossing the road without adult supervision
Not turning your backs to the sea
