Study the marking See what earns credit and compare it with a full-mark answer.
Marking points
- 1 Links the headland to harder or more resistant chalk/hard rock.
Full-mark answer
Flamborough Head is made of harder chalk, so it is eroded more slowly than the softer boulder clay coast to the south.
Why this answer loses marks
It sticks out because the sea goes around it.
This describes the shape but does not explain resistant rock and slower erosion.
