Section A – Landscape Systems Answer all questions from one option. Option A – Coastal landscapes 1 (a) Explain the influence of sea level rise and geomorphic processes in the formation of rias. [8] (b) Study Table 1, which shows wave height off the coast in the United Kingdom on 28th November 2015. Time Wave height (m) 3 3 2 2 3 5 4 4 5 5 6 6 Table 1 Wave height off the coast in the United Kingdom on 28th November 2015 (i) Calculate the mean wave height for the data shown in Table 1. You must show your working. [2] (ii) Calculate the standard deviation for the data shown in Table 1. You must show your working and give your answer to 2 decimal places. [4] (c) Study Fig. 1, a coastal landscape in the United Kingdom. With reference to Fig. 1, explain which geomorphic processes are the most influential in forming landform A. [3] (d)* ‘Human activity influences coastal landscape systems more than physical factors’. To what extent do you agree with this statement?
