Question 25

Investigating Physical Environments (Coastal Landscapes)

A student group collected physical data at six different sites along a coastal spit, moving from the proximal end (Site 1) to the distal end (Site 6). Their findings are shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1

Coastal characteristicsSite 1Site 2Site 3Site 4Site 5Site 6
Mean Pebble Diameter (cm)6.45.24.83.53.82.1
Beach Gradient (degrees)12.510.08.59.07.56.0

Identify the two correct statements about the coastal data in Table 1.

  • A The mean pebble diameter increases overall between Site 1 and Site 6.
  • B The beach gradient decreases overall between Site 1 and Site 6.
  • C The beach gradient decreases between Site 3 and Site 4.
  • D The mean pebble diameter increases between Site 4 and Site 5.
  • E The beach gradient at Site 2 is exactly twice the beach gradient at Site 6.
