Attrition 2 of 14 water from a breaking wave which flows under gravity down a beach and returns to the sea Backwash 3 of 14 a feature produced when erosion creates an indent in the coastline Bay 4 of 14 the processes and plans applies to coastal areas by local authorities and agencies Coastal Management 5 of 14 small, weak waves with a low frequency that tend to add sand and other sediment to the coastline because they do not break with much force Constructive Waves 6 of 14 large, powerful waves with a high frequency that tend to take sediment away from the beach, because their backwash is greater than their swash. Desructive Waves 7 of 14 (in coastal management) an approach that allows natural processes to take their course without any intervention 'Do Nothing' 8 of 14 the wearing away and removal of material by a moving force, such as a breaking wave Erosion 9 of 14 the distance of sea over which winds blow and waves move towards the coastline Fetch 10 of 14 using solid structures to resist forces of erosion Hard Engineering 11 of 14 usually sand, mud or pebbles deposited by a river Sediment 12 of 14 a detached column of rock located just-off shore Stack 13 of 14 the forward movement of water up a beach after a wave has broken Swash 14 of 14
