Clues

  • A hopping movement of pebbles along the seabed. Particles that are too heavy to be suspended. (9, 8)
  • Coastal management. Loses between 1-2 metres per year, coastline made of bolder clay which is easily eroded. (3, 10, 5)
  • Heavy particles rolled along the seabed. (8, 8)
  • Lighter particles carried (suspended) within the water. (10, 8)
  • Located on the east yorkshire coast between Filey and Bridlington. Flamborough coast is an 8 mile stretch of chalk headland. There are often landslips where the chalk erodes away and the clay soil surrounding it falled into the sea. (11, 5)
  • Process of dumping or pumping sand from elsewhere. More protection for buildings behind. Doesn't prevent erosion and is hard to find perfect colour match. (5, 11)
  • The dissolving of rocks, such as limestone and chalk. (8, 8)
  • The main cause is thermal expansion of the seawater. The melting of ice on the land will also have an effect, however melting sea ice e.g. Antarctica will have no direct effect on sea levels. (6, 2, 3, 5, 4)
  • The Thames Barrier. The Mose Defence Scheme. (5, 3, 3, 5, 4)
  • This is the process by which the material carried by the waves erodes itself. It does this by one particle colliding with one or more other particles during wave movement. The effect is that the material being carried becomes increasingly smaller (9, 7)
