1Choose the right land formation to match the description.
"Low waves that bring sand and shingle to build up a beach."- ADestructive Waves
- BConstructive Waves
- CSwash
2STACK FORMATION. First, there is a [blank_start]crack[blank_end] opened up by hydraulic action. It eventually gets bigger and forms a [blank_start]cave[blank_end] by hydraulic action and [blank_start]abrasion[blank_end]. This becomes larger. Then it breaks through the headland forming a natural [blank_start]arch[blank_end]. This then gets eroded and collapses leaving a tall rock [blank_start]stack[blank_end]. This is further eroded forming a [blank_start]stump[blank_end].
- Acrack
3Long shore drift occurs in areas where prevailing winds approach at a perpendicular angle.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
4Tick the three man made features that are meant to prevent erosion.
- AGroyne
- BCliff barrier
- CSea Wall
- DRevetments
- EBeach defence
5What is the distance that the wind blows over the sea called?
- ANon prevailing wind
- BPrevailing wind
- CFetch
6The stack goes through the process of erosion in the final stage of stack formation.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
7What is the proper geographical definition of a lagoon?
- AA shallow body of water, especially one separated from a sea by sandbars or coral reefs.
- BSalt water formed around the marsh next to an estuary
- CA freshwater lake formed behind a bar.
8Headlands are formed when the sea attacks a section of coast with alternating bands of [blank_start]hard[blank_end] and [blank_start]soft[blank_end] rock.
- Ahard
- Bsoft
9Coastlines where the geology alternates between bands of hard rock and soft rock are called...?
- Aalternating concordant and discordant coastlines
- Bconcordant coastlines
- Cdiscordant coastlines
10When a wave breaks, water is washed up the beach - this is called the [blank_start]swash[blank_end]. Then the water runs back down the beach - this is called the [blank_start]backwash[blank_end]. With a constructive wave, the swash is [blank_start]stronger[blank_end] than the backwash. With a destructive wave, the [blank_start]backwash[blank_end] is stronger than the [blank_start]swash[blank_end].
- Aswash
- Bbackwash
- Cstronger
- Dbackwash
- Eswash
11Tick the 2 boxes that are advantages of groynes.
- APrevents the movement of beach material along the coast by longshore drift.
- BProtects the base of cliffs, land and buildings against erosion. Can prevent coastal flooding in some areas.
- CAbsorb the energy of waves.
- DAllows the build up of a beach. Beaches are a natural defence against erosion and an attraction for tourists.
12On a purely sand beach, the coarse sand will be at the top and the finest particles will be by the sea.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
13The water behind a spit is a .......... environment. Choose the correct answer.
- Ahigh energy
- Blow energy
- Cno energy
14The movement of eroded material up and down, and along the coast is called [blank_start]transportation[blank_end]. When the sea loses energy, it drops the sand, rock particles and pebbles that it has been carrying and deposits them. This is called [blank_start]deposition[blank_end].
- Atransportation
- Bdeposition
15Abrasion is when waves cause the rocks to crash against each other, breaking them down into smaller and rounder pieces.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
