... Data required Reasons Technique Limitations Equipment Wave Height To establish whether waves were constructive or destructive as this determines erosion rates. Measuring the height by going into the sea with a meter stick and measuring the waves when they have broke, You may measure waves breaking at different point in the sea. - Meter stick - Timer Wave frequency To establish whether waves were constructive or destructive as this determines erosion rates. Counting the waves breaking and timing a minute whilst counting You may lose count of the waves at breaking point - Timer Weather conditions To find out the wind speed in km/h. Holding up an anometre in the rough direction of the wind. You may not have the anometre pointing in the right direction. - Anometre Long shore drift To find out which way the long shore drift was moving on the day. This determines how the coastal erosion happens because higher long shore drift the more powerful the waves are By placing a golf ball in the sea and
