Biological-Plant roots.

Slumping- is in clay cliffs and happens when it is saturated becomes heavier than the force supporting it and breaks away moving downhill in a rotational manner.

Destructive-Strong backwash, high amplitude short wavelength, weak swash, 10-12 a minute and occur in rough conditions.

-Hydraulic action   -Solution

-Solution                 -Traction

-Abrasion                -Suspension

-The Holderness Coastline

-Sea level rise in the Maldives

-Studland bay nature reserve

-High salt levels

-Infertile

-Behind spits with low energy waves which deposit a lot of sediment.

2. Disrupted fishing industry which is worth 5% of total GDP. 12,000 jobs. Fisherman have to go further out because of warmer waters which isn't possible with rudimentary boats.

3. Less freshwater available as groundwater supplies are being contaminated with saltwater but the government are investing in rainwater harvesting.

4. The government have borrowed $60 million from the Japanese to build a 3m high sea wall around the capital Male.

5. Loss of soil-the oil on most of the island is shallow (20cm or less) which prevents plant growth and flooding can easily take away what little soil they have.

6. Coral bleaching-higher temperatures causes the water to become slightly acidic which damages the coral reef ecosystem.

7. Higher sea levels erodes the beaches and exposes the land behind it to erosion which reduces the bio diversity.

8. The Maldivian government has pledged to become carbon neutral and not contribute to global warming.

9. Long term plans for the government to buy up land in Australia and the like to resettle it populous there should the mainland flood.

10. The local people lose their traditional way of life when they are forced to relocate and receive little support as climate change refugees.

11. 605,000 people visited the Maldives in 2010 and a unique holiday destination is lost for the minority of those people able to afford it.

-Tourists add extra weight on top of the cliffs.

-The coastline is very exposed and not sheltered.

-The base of the cliffs is being eroded by hydraulic action and abrasion.

-Weathering is weakening the rock which makes them more vulnerable to mass movement.

-Permeable sand lies on top of impermeable clay so the rain saturates the sand and becomes really heavy.

-The beaches are naturally narrow so are more susceptible to erosion.

-Groynes have stopped long shore drift further down the coast so the beaches have become even more narrow.

-Dogs aren't allowed in the middle of the beach in between July and September.

-Facilities like shops, toilets and bins are focused around the carpark to concentrate the tourists.

-Vulnerable areas and places recently planted with marram grass are sealed.

-Car parking areas are limited and you can't drive onto the beach.

-Boardwalks have been laid through the dunes and on the beach to keep tourists on certain paths.

-1.5 million people visit the 5km stretch of beach each year

-Home to the only UK native lizard (the sand lizard)

-It's the 1000 richest hectares of wildflowers in the UK

-Are specially adapted, cordgrass is resistant to salt, doesn't need as many nutrients as other plants and have tangled roots to trap and when they die they contribute more nutrients and sediment to the salt marsh so it is less frequently submerged and there are more nutrients so it is a more habitable environment for other wildlife.

-Roads and railways near the coast are under threat (economic)

-Tourists may not visit because of the danger. This negatively affects local businesses (economic)

-It is dangerous to walk atop the cliffs (social)

-It is difficult and expensive to insure homes close to the cliffs. (socioeconomic)

-Homes close to the cliff go down in value (social)

-Cliff collapse exposes different rock types and fossils (environmental)

-Golf courses have had to expand inland (economic)

-Bird nesting and watching sites are bein lost atop the cliff (environmental)
