An island of opposing coastlines

Through two different aspects of Geography, the island has totally different coastlines on the east and the west.
1. Prevailing winds and fetch - these tend to be from the North East and with the whole of the Atlantic ocean to blow over, it creates large waves which have a powerful erosive force.
2. Geology: Although most of the island is limestone, the east has large sections of sandstone and clays. As a result many of the steeper areas on the east are prone to land slipping. The crack in our house gets bigger and bigger at this time of year with the dry weather followed by short bursts of rain.
