Clues

  • Forms north bank of mouth of Humber estuary. 4.8km long and 50m wide in some places. Home to RNLI lifeboat station. Tip known as Spurn Head. Formed by eroded material from Flamborough head, maintaned by plants (4, 5, 5, 5)
  • Port developed as sheltered deep-water port. Shipping to Middle and Far East and USA, has good rail links. 7% of UK trade. Oil refinery, chemical plant, nature reserve, marinas, county park, River Hamble, Calshot Outdoor Activity Centre (4, 5, 11)
  • Ridge of sand/shingle isolated from mainland, but attached at each end. Formed same way as spit. Often across a bay - no strong flow of water. Lagoon behind it (8, 7, 4)
  • Sea attacks weak point in the headland and creates caves. Caves are eroded right through to form arches. Roof of arch collapses, leaving a stack. Stacks are eroded leaving stumps and a wavecut platform. (4, 4, 5, 5)
  • Sea water is naturally slightly acidic. This slowly dissolves the cliff, particularly chalk and limestone. Cracks and joints are widened, salt can also get into the cracks from the sea spray, this leaves salt crystals forcing cracks apart (10, 8)
  • Small particles of sands are carried within the water of the waves, towards the cliff where they will be eventually deposited (8, 10)
  • Small pebbles and gravels, bounce along the bottom of the sea bed towards the cliff, where they will be eventually deposited (8, 9)
  • South east of UK. Beach replenishment, 25,000 cubic metres moved by LSD, 5,000 moved by lorries from west, 20,000 cubic metres extracted from sea bed. Beach Recycling moves large amount of sediment build up back to original position.Beach Reprofiling (4, 5, 8, 3)
  • Waves approach at an angle to the coastline. Longshore drift is the main process, caused by wind producing waves at an angle. Beach produced is longer along the coast. (5, 7, 5)
  • Waves approach parallel to coastline. Swash moves sediment up beach and returns in backwash. Beach produced is wider from cliff to sea (5, 7, 5)
