- WEATHERING ~
- Physical weathering ------weathering and breakdown of rock by weather
- Biological weathering -----breakdown of rock by plants and animals
- Chemical weathering------erosion is the disintegrating of rocks
- EROSION ~
- Corrosion ----- rocks are hitting against the cliff edge
- Attrition ------- Rocks are hitting against each over and go small and round
- Solution-------- dissolved by slightly acidic water
- Hydraulic action - force of water
-
headlands , bays , transport and waves

- CONSTRUCTIVE WAVE ~
- Long wave length strong swash weak backwash low energy
- DESTRUCTIVE WAVE ~
- weak swash strong back wash erodes sand high energy
- TRANSPORT IS.....
- Traction-rolling rocks Saltation-bouncing smaller rocks
- Suspension-particles carried by water
- Solution-dissolved
-
- when certain conditions arise the sea can no longer maintain its energy and drops any material its carrying such as sand pebbles and rock materials

- is the Process by which radiation atmosphere warms the planet to a temperature what it would be without its atmosphere if a planet contains active gases they will radiate energy in all directions
- ENHANCED GREEN HOUSE EFFECT ~
