erosion

Question 1

constructive wave

Answer 1

strong swash, weak backwash, elliptical orbit, shallow beach, deposits material

Question 2

destructive wave

Answer 2

weak swash, strong backwash, circular orbit, steep beach, removes material

Question 3

fetch

Answer 3

the distance a wave travels

Question 4

swash

Answer 4

water and the material it is carrying that is pushed up a beach

Question 5

backwash

Answer 5

water and the material it is carrying that is pulled back down a beach

Question 6

erosion

Answer 6

the wearing down of a coastline and its rocks

Question 7

transportation

Answer 7

the carrying of sediment by the waves

Question 8

deposition

Answer 8

the dropping of sediment by the waves

Question 9

Question 11

solution

Answer 11

salts + water / dissolve

Question 12

abrasion

Answer 12

fragments / hurled

Question 13

CCASS

Answer 13

crack / hydraulic action + abrasion / cave / weathering + erosion / headland / arch / collapses / stack / undercutting / stump

Question 14

headland

Answer 14

a strip of land that sticks out into the water with a bay on either side, caused by the erosion of a cliff with bands of resistant and non-resistant rock

Question 15

wave cut platform

Answer 15

a platform of rock at the base of a cliff, exposed only at low tide

Question 16

Answer 16

groove in the base of a cliff, undercut by the waves

Question 17

stump

Answer 17

a small lump of rock, protruding from the water that occurred after the undercutting of a stack

Question 18

three types of rock

Answer 18

igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic

Question 19

types of transportation

Answer 19

traction, saltation, suspension, solution

Question 20

traction

Answer 20

rolled

Question 21

saltation

Answer 21

bounced

Question 22

suspension

Answer 22

suspended

Question 23

solution

Answer 23

dissolved

Question 24

longshore drift

Answer 24

prevailing wind direction / angle / swash / angle / backwash / moving the beach

Question 25

bay

Answer 25

a partially enclosed area with hills or cliffs around it, formed by waves eroding an area of the cliff faster because the rock is less resistant

Question 26

beach

Answer 26

a strip of land covered in sediment at the edge of a body of water

Question 27

igneous

Answer 27

made when magma or lava cools

Question 28

metamorphic

Answer 28

made when rock experiences extreme heat or pressure

Question 29

sedimentary

Answer 29

made when sediment accumulates over time and is compressed

Question 30

spit

Answer 30

longshore drift / continues / deposits / spit / mud flats + salt marshes / river prevents / hooked end
