How many types of coastal erosion are there?

What type of coastal erosion takes place when soluble chemicals are dissolved in rocks?

What type of coastal erosion takes place when fragments of rock are picked up, and hurled by the sea, against a cliff?

What type of coastal erosion takes place when pebbles cause a ‘sandpapering’ effect grinding over a rocky platform, causing it to become smooth?

What type of coastal erosion takes place when rock fragments carried by the sea knock against one another causing them to become smaller and rounded?

What type of coastal erosion takes place when waves smash into a cliff?

How many different ways can sediment, of different sizes, be transported?

What coastal transportation method is used when large pebbles are rolled along the seabed?

What coastal transportation method is used when stones hop or bounce along, as they are too heavy to be suspended?

What coastal transportation method is used when chemicals, often from limestone or chalk, are dissolved and carried along?

What coastal transportation method is used when particles are carried within the water?

When waves approach a beach ‘head on’ what happens to the sediment?

What is the term used to describe when sediment is moved along a beach in a ‘zigzag’ pattern?

When does coastal deposition take place?

Beaches are found in bays. The energy of waves is reduced and sediment is deposited. What is this process called?

Why are mudflats and saltmarshes often found in sheltered estuaries behind spits?

When a wave reaches the shore, what is the water that rushes up the beach known as?

When a wave reaches the shore, what is the water that flows back to the sea known as?

Which of the following is NOT one of the different ways that sediment can be transported?

Waves smashing onto a cliff face causes trapped air to be forced into holes and cracks in the rock. What is this explosive force of trapped air operating in a crack called?

What will the coastal erosion be like, when the coastline is exposed to a large fetch?

Load is transported along the shore by longshore drift. What determines the direction of the drift?

Deposition is when waves drop and leave behind the load they were carrying. What is this deposit called?

By how much is the unconsolidated, soft boulder clay rocks in North Norfolk, eroding each year?

Load is transported material. Where do most marine loads originate from?
