Whiteboard: Coastal Landforms
There are images of various coastal shoreline landforms on the whiteboard. Use the whiteboard to label each landform. In the notes section, enter a description of how each landform develops. When you are finished with your drawing, click to reveal sample answers.
Choose your pencil color and line thickness. You can draw in the white space (use the eraser, or clear all (x button) if you make a mistake), and you may also use the lined area to type notes. When you have finished, you may print your work by clicking on the printer.
