COASTS AS A SYSTEM
1.1.1
-
INPUTS, OUTPUTS, STORES
INPUTS
-
-
-
humans - pollution, defences
-
STORES/SINKS
-
-
caves, arches, stacks, stumps
-
-
FEEDBACK
NEGATIVE
-
-
example: storm - beach is eroded by high energy waves - waves lose energy, sand deposits as bar - bar = lower energy + protects the beach, bar gets eroded instead - dynamic equilibrium
POSITIVE
-
-
example: people walking on sand dunes - destroy them, cause erosion - roots of plants hold sand together - destroy vegetation = erosion of dunes - eventually sand dunes completely eroded - leaves beach open to further erosion - further away from equilibrium
-
SEDIMENT CELL
-
within the cell, sediment is sourced, transferred, and stored
