Constructive
Which come first - arch, cave, stack ?
Cave
Which type of engineering involves building protective features from concrete?
Hard Engineering
What types of rock are very vulnerable to solution?
Limestone
What process makes beaches bigger?
Deposition
Which type of waves have a higher frequency?
Destructive
Which comes last arch, cave, stump, stack?
Stump
What type of coastal defence is curved and sends the waves energy back to sea?
Sea Wall
What type of coastal management uses nature and natural methods which fit in with the surroundings to defend the coast?
Soft Engineering
What is the name of the process where sediment is moved along the beach?
Longshore Drift
The distance the wind blows over the water is called?
The Fetch
What depositional feature on coasts can be found on the mouth of rivers and have a curved end?
Spit
Which type of sea defence uses large hard rocks to protect the coast?
Rock Armour
Sea arches collapse because of erosion and what other process?
Weathering (though - I will accept Gravity if you can explain how weathering helps arches collapse)
What is the name of the type of erosion where waves and air get into cracks in the rock making them bigger?
Hydraulic Action
Waves hit coasts at an angle because of what?
Prevailing wind
What is the salt lake which forms behind a bar called?

Attrition
What forces means waves go back out to the sea at 90 digress?
Gravity
What feature is formed when the mainland rejoins a headland?
