7. What landform is created by coastal deposition?
Stack
Spit
Wave-cut platform
Cliff
8. What are the four types of transportation?
Solution, suspension, saltatio, rolling
Solution, floating, salting, traction
Solution, suspension, saltation, traction
Dissolving, suspension, salting, traction
9. What is a groyne used for along a coastline?
Deposition scheme
Rescue centre
Coastal management
Tourist attraction
10. What happens in a storm along a coastline?
Spits form more quickly because transportation allows sediment to moves faster
The beach is built up more because there are more waves
More coastal erosion occurs because of the massive destructive waves
The speed of erosion is slowed because of the extreme conditions
11. One reason to why the Holderness coastline is rapidly eroding is...
The cliff are made of soft boulder clay
Constructive waves attack the cliff
There is no coastal management
The area suffers from lots of stroms
12. What two types of hard engineering are being used at Mappleton?
Rock groynes and sea wall
Breakwaters and sea wall
Rock groynes and rock armour
A sea wall and revetment
13. The methods of hard engineering used at Mappleton have...
Increased tourism to the village
Put the village under greater threat of falling into the sea
Protected the settlement of Mappleton and decreased the risk of erosion
Increased the rates of erosion at Mappleton
14. What is a headland?
A hooked shaped narrow ridge of sand or shingle ending in the open sea
A piece of land sticking out into the sea
A hole at the bottom of a cliff
A rock face, often vertical, next to the sea
15. Name an example of landforms of erosion
Spurn Head Spit
Holderness coastline
Old Harry Rock, Dorset
Mappleton, Holderness
16. Which one of these is the correct sequence of features formes by wave erosion
Cave, arch, stack, stump, notch
Notch, cave, arch, stack, stump
Cave, stack, stump, arch
Arch, cave, stack, stump
17. How do spits form?
Eroded material is transported to a ridge of sand or shingle in the sea
Eroded materials are transported along the coast, and then deposited at a bend of a coastline. The deposited materials then accumulate away from the coast into the open sea until a long ridge of sand or shingle is built up
Material is carried by longshore drift is deposited at a groyne
Destructive waves deposit material onto a beach, when the beach gets to maximum capacity it extends out to sea
18. Which one of the following statements is true?
using coastal management at Mappleton may mean that beach material may not reach further along the coastline thus increasing erosion south of Mappleton
There are no problems with using coastal management at Mappleton
Coastal management is very cheap to install
Coastal management shows benifits in all areas around Mappleton
19. How are wave-cut platforms formed?
Over 100
As a cliff retreats inland an area of flat rock is exposed at low tide, the rock above the platform has been eroded by waves
destructive waves erode soft rock leaving a flat platform of hard rock
A stack collapses to form a small platform only exposed in low tide
20. What is erosion?
A gentle sloping area of sand or shingle along the edge of the sea
