What is Longshore Drift?
The zig-zag movement of the swash and the backwash along the coast move sand and sediments as they go.

What are waves?
Waves are formed by the wind moving across the surface of the sea.
What is compressed air?
A form of erosion when air becomes trapped in cracks along the coast

Fill in the blank:
The sea deposits its load whenever ______ lose energy.
Waves
What are Constructive waves?
Constructive waves have a stronger swash than backwash and deposit sediment on the shore

What is a cliff?

What is a Blowhole?
A shaft that goes through the roof of a sea cave to the land surface above.
What is the main material being deposited in most deposition features?
Sand
What forms as a result of a sea cave eroding through the headland?
Sea arch
Nmae all 5 erosion processes used in forming and eroding different coastal features and landscapes
