Recurved sea wall 1 of 29 Sand & pebbles that have been thrown up above high water mark. Beach 2 of 29 What is left when a stack is eroded e.g. old Harry's wife Stump 3 of 29 Flat rocky platform base of the cliff exposed at low tide shows where cliffs once were... Wave cut platform 4 of 29 An indentation at foot of the cliff caused by wave erosion... Wave cut notch 5 of 29 Steel mesh cages filled with rocks to absorb and dissipate wave energy... Gabions 6 of 29 Honey comb type structure that absorbs wave energy... Revetments 7 of 29 Artificial wooden or stone structure cut into the sea to reduce long shore drift... Groynes 8 of 29 Sand/ pebbles build a beach across a bay or estuary by long shore drift... Spit 9 of 29 A steep sided rock pillar left after an arch collapses e.g. old harry Stack 10 of 29 Man made structures made to protect the coast... Hard engineering. 11 of 29 Large boulders on the beach which absorb wave energy (rock armour) Rip Rap 12 of 29 Part of the coast that sticks out into the sea found where harder rocks are near to softer rocks that forms bay... Headland 13 of 29 Huge banks of sand that build up at the back of a sandy beach when the sand becomes trapped, vegetation grow... Sand dunes 14 of 29 Opening through a headland cut by waves... Arch 15 of 29 A hollow in the side of a cliff formed by erosion... Cave 16 of 29 Near vertical rock face that is next to the sea... Cliff 17 of 29 Where beach material is moved by the sea: traction, saltation, suspension and solution... Transportation 18 of 29 Water that moves down the beach... Backwash. 19 of 29 Water that moves up the beach... Swash. 20 of 29 Distance wind has travelled over sea before reaching the coasts... Fetch 21 of 29 Small particles of sand and mud are carried in the moving water, making water look brown, water is in container sediment sinks... Suspension 22 of 29 Minerals such as calcium dissolved by acids in the water cannot be seen if water evaporated deposits left behind... Solution 23 of 29 Small stones are picked up by the water and b ounce their way along the sea bed... Saltation 24 of 29 Where large boulders are rolled along by the force of the moving water... Traction. 25 of 29 Cliff faces worn away by sand pebbles carried by the waves... Abrasion 26 of 29 Sheer force of waves loosens rocks, cliffs by forcing open cliffs... Hydraulic action. 27 of 29 Coastal transport process by which sand pebbles are moved along a beach by waves... Longshore drift 28 of 29 Sheer force of the water hitting cliffs... Wave pounding. 29 of 29
