PAPER.2
COASTS
Explain how erosion and deposition can change the
shape of a coastline.
Using your own knowledge, describe and explain how
people make use of the coastline.
Describe some of the threats that coastal erosion can
bring. Explain how the coastline can be protected.
Describe how corrasion (abrasion) erodes the cliffs.
Draw an annotated diagram to explain the movement
of sand and pebbles along a beach.
Describe ways in which rapid erosion by the sea affects
the lives of people who live along the coast.
Explain two ways that could be used to protect the
coastline from erosion. Use an example or examples to
help your answer.
Explain how hydraulic action erodes cliffs.
Draw an annotated diagram to explain why processes
of coastal erosion, other than hydraulic action, may
result in cliff retreat.
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of different
strategies to manage the coastline. Use one or more
examples you have studied to help your answer.
Explain how named processes lead to the formation of
one coastal landform. You must use one or more
labelled diagrams to support your answer.
Rising sea-levels pose a threat to many coastal areas.
Explain how different coastal management strategies
along the coastline can be used to reduce this threat.
Refer to named places.
Describe how hard engineering strategies, like the use
of groynes, can help protect the coastline from erosion
by waves.
Evidence shows that coastal environments may need
to be managed differently in the future. What do you
think is the most sustainable way to manage coastlines
in the face of rising sea level? Explain your reasons for
recommending this strategy.
RETAIL AND RETAIL CHANGE

Explain how global trade can have advantages and
disadvantages for people in developing countries. Use

Describe how changes in customer choice are having
an impact on the global environment.
Explain the advantages and disadvantages linked to the
regeneration of one European city centre. Use an
example of a named place to help your answer.
TOURISM
Explain how any two natural factors can lead to the
development of tourism in one region you have
studied.
Explain how tourism can have a negative impact on the
environment in an MEDC.
Why have LEDCs attempted to develop sustainable
tourism? Why have these efforts been sometimes
abandoned?
Give two reasons that help to explain why more people
may decide to take their holidays in the UK instead of
going abroad.
Explain why tourism can bring both advantages and
disadvantages for people and the environment of one
region you have studied.
Explain how tourism can have different impacts on one
MEDC region you have studied.
Explain how tourism can be managed sustainably.
Describe how tourism can be developed in a
sustainable way.
Explain how tourism can bring disadvantages for
people and the environment. Use a located example to
help your answer.
