Coastal landforms caused by erosion 0.0 / 5 ? GeographyCoastal zonesGCSEAQA Created by: nimrahali12Created on: 06-09-16 17:39 Waves erode cliffs to form? Wave cut platform 1 of 24 Waves cause more erosion? at the foot of the cliff 2 of 24 This form forms? wave cut notch 3 of 24 which is? enlarged as erosion continues 4 of 24 The rock above the notch becomes? unstable and eventually collapses 5 of 24 What happens to the collapsed material? It is washed away and new wave cut plat form starts to form 6 of 24 Repeated collapsing results in? cliff retreating 7 of 24 A wave cut platform is the platform thats? left behind as the cliff retreats 8 of 24 Where do headlands and bays form? where erosion resistance is different 9 of 24 Some types of rock are? more resistant to others 10 of 24 Headlandss and bays form where they are _____ _____ of resistant and less resistant rock along the coast alternating bands 11 of 24 The less resistant rock (___) is eroded quickly and forms a? clay and forms a gentle slope of a bay 12 of 24 The resistant rock (___) is eroded more slowly and its left? jutting out forming a headland-headlands have steep sides 13 of 24 Headlands are eroded to form? caves,arches,stacks 14 of 24 Headlands are usually made of? resistant rocks that have weaknesses like cracks 15 of 24 Waves crash into the headlands and enlarge? cracks 16 of 24 by? hydraulic power and abrasion 17 of 24 Repeated erosion and enlargement of the cracks cause? a cave to form 18 of 24 Continued erosion deepens? the cave until it breaks through the headland 19 of 24 This forms? For example? arch for example Durdle Door 20 of 24 Erosion continues to wear away the rock supporting the arch until? it eventually collapses 21 of 24 This forms a? stack 22 of 24 what is a stack? an isolated rock that is seperate from the headland 23 of 24 For example? Old Harry in Dorset 24 of 24
