Clues

  • acids in sea water break down some rocks such as chalk/limestone (8)
  • particles of rock and sand grind down surfaces like sandpaper (8)
  • rocks being carried along the rivers which batters the land (9)
  • sheer force of the water hitting a cliff's surface causing erosion (9, 6)
  • waves smash rocks into each other, braking them down to become smoother (9)
