Example of the features


Example of the features

Example 1 

The Southwest has many examples of Headlands and Bays.
e.g. the coast around Lulworth Cove.



Fun Facts!
Along this section of coast the rocks have been tilted into a near vertical position. The oldest rocks, the Portland Limestone, provide a barrier to the sea but behind it are progressively softer rocks, Purbeck Limestone, Lower Greensand, Walden Clay and Upper Greensand. The youngest rocks are the Chalk, which, although soft, is massive in thickness.


 Example 2 

Swanage Bay
a coastal town and civil parish in the south east of Dorset, England.
