1.
An area where the land meets the sea
2.
The wearing away and transport of rock by wind, water or ice
3.
The movement of sediment
4.
The dropping of material due to a loss of energy
5.
The distance a wave has traveled
6.
The movement of water up a beach as a wave breaks
7.
The movement of water back down towards the sea after a wave has broken
8.
drift The transportation of material along the coast in a zig-zag pattern due to wave direction
9.
The covering of land with a large amount of water
10.
Waves pick up rocks in the sea and throw them against the cliff face. This acts like sandpaper and removes material.
11.
Rocks in the sea hit into each other. This makes them smaller, smoother and rounder.
12.
Action – The power of the waves forces water and air into cracks in the cliff. The increase in pressure and force causes cracks to get bigger.
13.
Chemicals in the water dissolve the rocks, such as limestone (this is erosion and transportation)
14.
Fine material is carried along in the water
15.
Small pebbles and stones are bounced along the sea bed
16.
Large boulders and rocks are rolled along the sea bed
