  1. 1What is the definition of hydraulic power?
    1. AWaves enter faults & compress air in them. When wave retreats, air in fault expands quickly causing minor explosion. Repeated continuously.
    2. BCoast worn down by material carried by waves. Waves throw particles against rock, sometimes at high velocity.
    3. CMaterials bump into each other & are smoothed and broken down into smaller pieces.
  2. 2Weathering is a sub-aerial process but mass movement isn't.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  3. 3Which are processes of transportation?
    1. ATraction
    2. BSuspension
    3. CSolution
    4. DWeathering
    5. ECorrosion
  4. 4Frost Shattering/ Freeze-thaw Weathering:
    Rainwater gets into [blank_start]small cracks[blank_end] in the rock. Water freezes & [blank_start]expands[blank_end] by [blank_start]8-10[blank_end]%. This process is repeated over & over, putting pressure on the cracks. This is a [blank_start]slow[blank_end] process that can take [blank_start]many years[blank_end]
    1. Asmall cracks
    2. Bcracks
    3. Clarge cracks
    4. D8-10
    5. E10
    6. F6-8
    7. Gslow
    8. Hfast
    9. Imany years.
    10. Ja short period of time.
    11. Kexpands
    12. Lcontracts
  5. 5Which process of erosion? This process wears down the coast by the material carried by waves. The waves throw particles against the rock, sometimes at high velocity.
    1. ACorrasion
    2. BAbrasion
    3. CCorrosion
    4. DAttrition
  6. 6SEEP: Caves, Arches, Stacks & Stumps
    Put the statements in order.
    1) [blank_start]Lines of weakness occur in headlands[blank_end] such as a fault.
    2) [blank_start]Abrasion & hydraulic action erode fault[blank_end] to form a cave.
    3) [blank_start]Cave is widened & deepened[blank_end].
    4) [blank_start]Sea cuts through to form an arch[blank_end].
    5) [blank_start]Sea erodes foot of arch & widens it[blank_end].
    6) [blank_start]Roof of arch becomes too heavy[blank_end] & collapses.
    7) Part of former cliff now isolated as stack.
    8) [blank_start]Over time stack is undercut & collapses[blank_end].
    9) A [blank_start]stump is the remainder[blank_end] of the eroded stack.
    E.g. Selwick Bay at Flamborough Head.
    1. ACave is widened & deepened
    2. BSea cuts through to form an arch
    3. CSea erodes foot of arch & widens it
    4. DOver time stack is undercut & collapses
    5. ERoof of arch becomes too heavy
    6. FLines of weakness occur in headlands
    7. Gstump is the remainder
    8. HAbrasion & hydraulic action erode fault
  7. 7Wave-cut Platforms:
    Destructive waves hurl [blank_start]sediment[blank_end] at base of cliff undercutting it ([blank_start]abrasion[blank_end]). Wave cut notch produced making cliff [blank_start]unstable[blank_end]. Cliff collapses under gravity. E.g. [blank_start]Selwick[blank_end] Bay at [blank_start]Flamborough[blank_end] Head. Wave cut platform grows in length. Platform [blank_start]gently[blank_end] sloping & has giant grooves from [blank_start]traction[blank_end] of large boulders.
    1. Asediment
    2. Brocks
    3. Cshingle
    4. Dabrasion
    5. Ehydraulic power
    6. Fattrition
    7. Gunstable
    8. Hcollapse
    9. Iweak
    10. JSelwick
    11. KFlamborough
    12. Lgently
    13. Msharply
    14. Ntraction
    15. Osuspension
    16. Psaltation
