Term

Definition
| created by wind causing friction on sea surface producing a swell. The energy of the wind causes water particles to rotate and this carries wave forward |

Definition
water washes up on beach called SWASH.
water then runs backwards called BACKWASH |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
*constructive -swash stronger than backwash
*calm weather *less powerful
*break on shore * deposit material
*long wave length
*destructive -backwash stronger
*erodes coast *high and steep *short wave length |

Definition
hydraulic -water breaks and compresses air trapped in cracks in cliffs which weaken cliff.
abrasion -bits of rock and sand grind cliff surface
attrition -waves smash rocks and pebbles on shore which become smoother
solution- acids in sea dissolve some types of rock eg chalk and limestone |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| waves approach shore at angle due to wind direction and carry material up beach. backwash carries material staight back at 90 degrees to sea so transporting the material. |

Term
|
Definition
| when water erodes rock face to form a notch which gets deeper until ceiling falls and notch collapses forming a wave cut platform at cliff base |
|

Term
|
Definition
steep vertical column formed when part of headland is eroded by hydraulic action. Also forms when natural arches collapse due to gravitiy.
typically form in limestone |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
when a ridge of sand or shingle projects from land into water
formed by longshore drift, tides, currents and bends in coast.
When decrease in wave energy more material is deposited than transported bulding a spit. |
