Landform formation
High land jutting out into the sea, formed of hard rock that resists erosion.
What is a headland.
Sand that moves in a zigzag pattern.
What is a longshore drift.
Process when materials like sand and shingles get transported along the coast and get deposited on the beach.
What is deposition.
This type of wave creates stronger swash than backwash?
What is constructive wave.
This type of rock is hard to break by weathering.
What is granite.
When soft rock is eroded, this form is called?
What is a bay.
A narrow bar of deposited sand linked to the coast.
What is a spit
Corrasion, corrosion and hydraulic action by waves will widen any weakness to form this.
What is a cave.
Waves will cut through the headland and continue to widen it's base.
There are two names for this erosion.
What is corrasion/abrasion.
Arches form at the end of this type of coastal landform.
What is a headland
A small wave that deposits sand on a beach.
What are constructive waves.
The permanent landform result from marine deposition.
What is a spit.
Process of when salt and other acids in the seawater slowly dissolve a cliff.
What is corrosion.
This soft engineering is to bring lost materials back to the beach.
What is beach replenishment/nourishment.
This form is created after an arch collapses.
What is a stack.
Water and suspended materials such as sand flowing onto a beach.
What is swash
This form along the coastline is protruding out into the sea.
What is headland.
Process when carbon dioxide dissolves in water and makes rocks acidic and dissolve over time.
What is chemical weathering.
Area of ocean surface where the wind blows and generates wind.
What is fetch.
The flat eroded areas of rock at the base of a coastal cliff.
What is the wave cut platforms.
A wall that extends from a beach designed to trap sand and direct waves away.
what is groyne.
This is developed in the sheltered water behind the spit.
What is salt marsh.
This hard engineering was created to divert the force of waves back out to the sea.
What is sea-walls.
What is the direction in which the winds and waves travel uninterrupted for thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean to reach the southern coastline of the UK.
What are south westerly winds.
