The visit helped us to be able to visualise what we learned in class like the receding cliffside and the effects of erosion.This would help us because in tests and exams it would be easier to recall pictures than words.We also learned about other topics like weathering and rainforest structure.I guess this would help because we actually see what the result of oxidation,for example,is rather than just memorising it,I never actually thought of rusting taking place that way.We also got to see how the cliff was slowly backing away from the ocean,so it was interesting to note that(on one hand) the rocks at its base might be some of its more resistant constituent elements.On the other hand,they might have been some washed up by the waves,I never knew they could be that strong so it was interesting to learn that.We also learnt how to tell the difference between high tide and low tide levels,something we didn't learn in class.
