Coastal landforms of the Purbeck Coast:
Produce a series of annotated photographs / powerpoint to give examples of the features listed as 15 -18 on Landforms of erosion on the South Dorset Coast sheet. For each type of feature you need to describe and explain an example from the Dorset coast. Use the videos watched, websites and textbooks, and any other relevant sources to help.)
