COASTS PHYSICAL AND HUMAN PROCESSES

Question 1

biological weathering

Answer 1

plant roots

Question 2

mechanical weathering

Answer 2

freeze thaw

Question 3

wave acton

Answer 3

swash and backwash

Question 4

4 types of erosion

Answer 4

hydraulic
abrasion
attrition
solution

Question 5

rocks smacking together

Answer 5

attrition

Question 6

rocks smacking cliff face

Answer 6

abrasion

Question 7

waves force air into cracks

Answer 7

hysraulic

Question 8

rocks dissolve from sea water

Answer 8

solution

Question 9

destructive waves

Answer 9

tall short
strong backwash (destroy with backshots)
steper waves
higher frequency
steep beach

Question 10

sliding

Answer 10

rocks from bedding planes slide down cliff like kid on slide, slide doesnt moves

Question 11

slumping

Answer 11

rotational slip cuz saturated makes it lube
slump over and jerk it with lube

Question 12

rock fall, rapid, stays together till its hits water

Answer 12

rapid, stays together till its hits water

Question 13

transport types

Answer 13

traction
suspension
slatation
solution

Question 14

when a rock rolls along the cround

Answer 14

traction like tractor

Question 15

rock bounces on ground

Answer 15

supsension like i need to fix my suspension as my biike is too bouncy

Question 16

when rock is held in water

Answer 16

suspension - not dissolves
suspended in motion - not hitting ground

Question 17

dissolved transported

Answer 17

solution

Question 18

LSD 5 points

Answer 18

wave swash carries sediment up the beach in direction of prevailing wind
loses energy and comes back down perpendicular to the beach
due to gravity
process repeats transporting sediment along the beach

Question 19

geology

Answer 19

type of rock
discordant - alternating
concordant - 1 type

Question 20

litholigy

Answer 20

rock characteristics

Question 21

factors influencing coast

Answer 21

vegetation
sea level
isostatic readjustment
thermal expansion
eustatic change
other already menmtioned

Question 22

how vegetation influences coast

Answer 22

biological weathering
encourage deposition
protecton

Question 23

how sea level effects coasts

Answer 23

landfrorm crreatioon and flooding

Question 24

isostatic vs estatic

Answer 24

iso - land moves relative to sea - e.g ice sheet wheighs it down is removed therefore moves up - iso iso land vs torta
eustatic is sea levelkl rise due to more water eugeune came in the sink so it rose

Question 25

erosional landforms x3

Answer 25

bays and headlands cliffs and wave cut platforms cave arch...

Question 26

depositional landforms x3 (groupss)

Answer 26

beaches spits and bars and tombolos suspate foreland

Question 27

headland and bays

Answer 27

waves approach as they approach coast and gets shallow waves refrract in the shape of the coastline energy is therefore concentrated on headlands

Question 28

is headland converging or diverging

Answer 28

converging

Question 29

headlands and bays key points

Answer 29

wavws approach as shallow and refract concentrate on headlands i waved at the approaching girl but she was shallow so i changed angle of travel sop i can concentrate on getting hade

Question 30

gliffs and wave cut [platfomrs

Answer 30

erosion conc at base erodes material creating a wa ve cut notch undercutting causes cliff to collapse due to gravity and causes a wave cut platform repeats over time so cliff retreat

Question 31

cave arch...

Answer 31

crack at bsae of headland within intertidal zone grows dfue to hydraulic action widened by weatheroiing wave cut notch grows till it goes through and two caves join to form arch arch becomes unstable and collapsesdue to gravity leaving stack which erosdes into stump

Question 32

stack vs stump

Answer 32

stack can be seen at high tide

Question 33

beaches

Answer 33

sand and shingle are deposited in low energy araeas

Question 34

spit

Answer 34

LSD sudden change in shpaee of coast momentum deposits over time builds up

Question 35

salt marsh

Answer 35

form behind spits as it is low energyand stagnatn

Question 36

cuspate foreland

Answer 36

when 2x LSD so triangle

Question 37

bars

Answer 37

joined 2 sides of bay

Question 38

tombolo

Answer 38

bar but with an island instead of 2 sides of a bay
