- Rivers And Coasts
- Water Cycle
- Evaporation-Water turning in to water vapiour
- Groundwater flow- movement of water underground through rocks
- Interception-collection of water by vegetation
- Water table-the upper level of underground water.
- Flood Management
- River Landforms
- Erosion
- Abrasion-fragments of rock wear away the river bank or bed
- Attrition-Rocks bang together to make themselves smaller and smoother
- Hydraulic Action-The power of moving water being forced against river banks causes them to collapse and be washed away
- Transportation
- As bedload- larger fragments being rolled along the river bed by the water
- As suspended load- smaller fragments carried along in the flow of the river
- In solution- dissolved materials carried in the water
- Deposition-This occur when a river has no energy to carry material any further
- Erosion
- Coastal Landforms
- Coastline management
- Sustainable- Capable of existing in the long term
- Water Cycle
