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.
Opposite of backwash
Swash
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 these type erosion
corrasion/abrasion.
Corrosion/solution
what is left after a stack
stump
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 or solution
True or false destructive waves built a beach
False
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.
When the force water makes rocks collide against each other and form small pebbles
Attrition
Area of ocean surface where the wind blows and generates wind.
What is fetch.
Which type of erosion creates a cave, arch, stack and stump
Hydraulic action
Which type of wave builds the beach
constructive wave
what is a fetch
The distance the wave is carried by the wind
How many types of erosion are there
Four
What is a coast
A place where land meets sea.
