Read this explanation...

Drawing and annotating a field sketch is an important skill for a geographer.

Field sketches can be used to explain the formation of physical features.

As geographers we should use appropriate geographical terminology to label our field sketches.

GEOGRAPHYLABELLING A FIELD SKETCH

Try this activity... Add the following labels to your sketch.

Discolouring at the base shows wave action between high and low tide- corrasion will form a

wave cut notch.

This is a chalk headland- there will be many cracks for hydraulic

action to exploit.

Because this is a headland, it is

exposed to the full power of the sea.

Wave cut platform- erosion can’t take place below low tide.

A cave- formed by continual corrasion.

An arch would have been here, formed when two caves meet-it

collapse due to erosion at its base.

A stack formed by the collapse of the arch-

overtime this will form a stump.
