Flamborough head Study guides, Revision notes & Summaries

This is a predicted 16 mark essay for OCR A-level Geography that was awarded 16/16 by my teacher. The interrelationship of landforms in a low energy coastal environment has already come up in 2020 so there is a possibility for the same question in regards to a high energy coastal environment may come up in the future. This essay uses the case study of the high energy coastal landscape stretching from Saltburn to Flamborough Head on the east coast of Yorkshire in Northeast England.

In depth notes taken from OCR A Level Geography Textbook, Coastal Landscapes Chapter. Definitions of key terms, describing theories and detailed case studies which helps exams.
