Erosional landforms and landscapes. Depositional landforms and landscapes.
3 of 8
Outputs
Dissipation of wave energy. Accumulation of sediment above tidal limit. Sediment removed beyond local sediment cells.

Dynamic Equilibrium
A balance between inputs and outputs

Feedback Mechanisms
Negative: impacts are nulified/reduced by subsequent knock-on effects. Positive: action leads to something becoming more than it was before.

Feedback Mechanisms
Beach in dynamic equilibrium--- Sediment eroded from beach during storm--- Sediment deposited offshore forming an offshore bar--- waves forced to break before beach, dissipating energy and reducing further erosion.--- Storm calms, normal wave conditi

Landform+ Landscapes
Landform= individual feature along a coastline, formed by coastal processes. Landscape= combination of landforms to create a landscape, e.g erosional or depositional or concordant or discordant coasts.
