Clues

  • (does not always appear on hydrographs) will be drawn as a horizontal line marking the level of discharge above which flooding will occur as the river will burst its banks. (8, 9)
  • a series of ridges projecting out on alternate sides of a valley around which a river winds its course (12, 5)
  • building new artificial channels which is used when rivers are close to maximum discharge. They take the pressure off the main channels when floods are likely, therefore reducing the flood risk. (5, 6, 7)
  • downward erosion of a river bed (8, 7)
  • is where the natural environment is used to help reduce coastal erosion and river flooding. At the coast soft engineering is where a beach is used to absorb wave energy and reduce erosion. (4, 11)
  • processes relating to erosion, transport and deposition by a river. (7, 9)
  • s a coastal management technique used to protect coasts,by absorbing the energy of waves, preventing erosion and flooding. They are highly visible man-made structures used to stop or disrupt natural processes. (4, 11)
  • sideways erosion by a river on the outside of a meander channel. It eventually leads to the widening of the valley and contributes to the formation of the floodplain (7, 7)
  • this attempts to organise the flood defences on such a way that land that is near the river and often floods is not built on. This could be used for pastoral farming or playing fields. The areas that don't flood would be used to build houses,transpor (5, 5, 6)
  • water held on the ground surface e.g puddles (7, 7)
