Clues

  • he physical actions of rain, frost and wind that create weaknesses in rocks. (10, 10)
  • is the breakdown of material in the place they were found by mechanical, chemical and biological processes (10)
  • Laying down of transported materials- creating new landforms such as beaches/spits/tombolos. (10)
  • minerals can react chemically in different ways, which weakens them. For example, water can react with some rocks to break them down, and air can weaken minerals through a process called oxidisation. (8, 10)
  • Movement of material along the coast by waves/along a riverbed by the river. (9)
  • Movement of substance downhill due to gravity. (4, 8)
  • Pebbles hit each other/landforms making rocks break and get smaller and rounder (9)
  • Small pieces of sediment picked up temporarily in the water (9)
  • Smaller particles suspended in water (10)
  • Water enters cracks and makes the rocks weaker, splitting them apart. (9, 6)
