... An investigation into how beach material varies in shape and size up the beach I decided to do 'An investigation into how beach material varies in size and shape up the beach' as this topic has always interested me and it should be easy to do in the allotted time slot. I am glad I now understand why pebbles are where they are and how there shape is affected as a result. The aim of my project was to investigate how beach sediment varied in size and shape up the beach and to investigate variations in the angle of the beach profile and beach width. To do this I collected results in the tables I had made earlier under the following headings: Long axis- the length of the pebble in cm Short axis- the width of the pebble in cm Radius- half of the diameter (long axis.) Roundness- on a scale of 1-6, how round
