Q

formation of a wave and how it breaks

A

On most days there is some sort of combination of wind and swell waves hitting on our beaches. Waves break when the shape of the wave becomes too steep and this usually happens as waves travel from deep water to shallow water

Q

Constructive wave and destructive and the difference

constructive are slow and are what causes build up of materials on the beach. Destructive waves have strong backwashes

Q

Swash and backwash meaning

A

swash- the layer of water after a wave has broken

backwash- the water that goes back into the sea

17
Q

Coastal processes

A

erosion and disposition

18
Q

Stack formation

A

Coastal erosion or the slow wearing of rock by water and wind over very long periods of time causes a stack to form.

19
Q

hydraulic actions

A

Hydraulic Action is the sheer force of water crashing against the coastline causing material to be dislodged and carried away by the sea.

20
Q

corrosion

A

Corrosion is where water in waves dissolves rock minerals.

21
Q

attrition

A

Attrition is when material such as rocks and stones carried by waves hit and knock against each other wearing them down

22
Q

abrasion

A

In geography, abrasion refers to a form of erosion in which pebbles and other sediment are ground along a solid surface

23
Q

types of mountains 3

A

rocky (ash and mud and natural sources), fold (two or more tectonic plates pushed together) and unwarned (when a plater hits a fault and tips upside down)

24
Q

what’s a volcano

A

a mountain or hill with a vent going through it filled with lava, gas and hot vapor

25
type of volcano
stratavolcano (mt etna) formed by layers of magma
26
how r volcanos formed
a build up of heigh and pressure deep inside the earth
27
cross section of a volcano
A cross section is a diagram of a volcano showing the crater, vent, magma chamber, layers or rock and crust.
28
what’s a hot spot in a volcano
A volcanic hotspot is an area with lots of volcanic action
29
what are the sheept factors
Social, historical, enviromental, economic, political and t is for technological
30
why are coasts important
Habitats for biodiversity, economic value and transportation
31
how a sand dune is formed and what it is
Sand dunes are natural land forms created by wind or water carrying and depositing sand.
32
how do coasts change
Coasts are dynamic and change due to Enviromental and human activity.
