Clues

  • breaking waves compress the air in joints and bedding planes, forcing bits of rock to break off (9, 6)
  • chemical reactions between the rocks and the salts in the sea (9)
  • example of mechanical weathering (6, 4)
  • light material floats on thde surface of the water (10)
  • Particles of sand carried in the waves scrape at the cliff (9)
  • Sand is held in the body of the water (10)
  • the break down of rocks where they are by sub-aerial processes (10)
  • the waves erode away at the foot of the cliff to form a ? (4, 3, 5)
  • when hard and soft rocks are arranged at 90 degrees to the cliff it is called a ? structure (10)
  • when hard and soft rocks are arranged parallel to the cliff it is called a ? structure (10)
