Swash

Waves coming into the beach

Backwash

Waves coming back out from the beach

2 of 2252

Destructive waves

Wave that are mainly responsible for coastal erosion and taking away sediment.has a weak swash but a strong backwash

3 of 2252

Constructive waves

Responsible for depositing sediment in coastal areas has a strong swash ans a weak backwash

4 of 2252

Hydraulic Action

Air may become trapped in joints and cracks in rocks. When a wave breaks, the trapped air is compressed which weakens the rock and causes erosion.

Water gets into cracks in rock and when the temperature falls below freezing the water expands and turns to ice. This causes pressure on the rock around it and fragments may fall off the rock.

230 of 2252

Chemical weathering

Rainwater containing weak acid can react with limestone and chalk rock and it causes rock to break up.

231 of 2252

Biological weathering

Seeds fall into cracks in rock and grow forcing rock apart or burrowing animals break rocks up.

Mass movement

The movement of material down a slope due to gravity.

Soil creep

Slow downhill movement of soil. Gravity pulls the water that has soil in it and it moves with the water down the slope.

1200 of 2252

Attrition

Weathering

Break up of rocks due to exposure of the atmosphere.

1204 of 2252

Physical weathering (Freeze-thaw)

Water gets into cracks in rock and when the temperature falls below freezing the water expands and turns to ice. This causes pressure on the rock around it and fragments may fall off the rock.

1205 of 2252

Chemical weathering

Rainwater containing weak acid can react with limestone and chalk rock and it causes rock to break up.

Reducing right angled cliffs to 45 degrees.

2164 of 2252

Abrasion (Corrasion)

Process of the coast being worn down by sediment carried by the waves being thrown against the rocks at a high velocity.

2165 of 2252

Attrition

Material carried by the waves bump into each other so they are broken down and smoothed.

2166 of 2252

Corrosion (Solution)

Chemical reaction of sea water. Acid in the salt slowly dissolves the rocks. Limestone and chalk are prone to this.

2167 of 2252

Deposition

The setting of transported beach material.

2168 of 2252

Weathering

Break up of rocks due to exposure of the atmosphere

2169 of 2252

Physical weathering (Freeze-thaw)

Water gets into cracks in rocks and when the temperature falls the water expands and turns to ice. This causes pressure on the rock so fragments may fall off.

2170 of 2252

Chemical weathering

Rainwater containing weak acid can react with rock and cause it to break up.

2171 of 2252

Biological weathering

Seed get in cracks in rock and force the rock apart when it grows or burrowing animals break up rocks.
