Saji Begum With reference to one or more located coastlines‚ examine the factors responsible for landforms of coastal erosion. (25 marker) Most of our landforms on the coastline are formed because of coastal erosion. But firstly it is essential to understand what coastal erosions are. Coastal erosion involves the breaking down and removal of material along a coastline by the movement of wind & water. They are sorted in two categories‚ Marine processes and Sub aerial processes. A few methods of erosion

A watershed is a system of how water can get from one body of water to a larger body of water. Watersheds work by a simple concept‚ which is that water flows to the lowest point of a terrain due to gravity. The borders of a watershed are defined by hills or mountains‚ which create a natural divider‚ because water cannot flow up that surface. These are known as “watershed divides”. An example of a watershed is the Etobicoke River Watershed. Streams of water flow downward‚ to form larger streams of
