You have been asked to produce a 500 word case study of the "Holderness" coastline in the UK.

Make sure that you answer the following questions within your case study:

  • Outline and describe the different factors that contribute to the rapid erosion rates along the Holderness coastline (Tip: think "terrestrial", "atmospheric", etc.).
  • Which coastal hazards dominate this coastline? Why?
  • Outline the problems caused by the rapid erosion rates along the Holderness coastline (Tip: divide your response into "economic", "social", "environmental" etc.).
  • What is being done to manage the coastline? (Tip: management strategies)
  • What effects have these management strategies had on the coastline and the human settlements along it?

Due first Day 4 after the Easter break.
