Answer 1

How successful are the coastal management strategies that are used at Walton-On-The-Naze?

Question 2

how did we collect our data

annotated field sketch
height of groynes
particle size and infiltration rates

Question 3

Answer 3

helped us observe and record the most important features
annotations help explain what features are and why they are important

Question 4

what type of data was our different collection methods

Answer 4

annotated sketch and height of groynes was primary
particle size and infiltration rates was secondary

Question 5

how did we present our data

Answer 5

line graph for infiltration rates
stacked bar chart for particle sizes
profile graph of groynes
sketch

Question 6

what is useful about a stacked bar chart

Answer 6

You can see how much each segment contributes proportionally to the total for each category
It provides a clear visual representation

Question 7

how is a profile graph useful

Answer 7

It displays the cross-sectional shape of the beach, allowing you to compare the beach profile on different sides of a groyne
It makes it easier to evaluate the effectiveness of groynes

Question 8

how is infiltration rates a sign of erosion

Answer 8

permeable rocks such as limestone allow water to infiltrate quickly which means less surface run of water means less erosion
