Across
  1. 3. The backwards movement of water under the pull of gravity.
  2. 7. Rocks or sediment carried in the sea knock into one another breaking into smaller pieces.
  3. 10. Process where a wave bends to fit through a gap or wrap around an obstruction.
  4. 12. Area between the high and low tide mark.
  5. 14. Offshore mounds of sediment submerged at high tide.
  6. 17. narrow strip of land where the sea meets the land
  7. 18. narrow coastline formation created by deposition. Attached to the mainland at one end.
  8. 19. A ridge of rock or coral that sits just above or below the surface.
  9. 21. Waves smashing into cliffs forcing air into cracks in rocks.
  10. 22. Area of sand or small stones beside a sea or lake
  11. 23. A wave eroded hole through a headland
  12. 26. Movement of material along a coast due to angle approach of wave.
  13. 27. Term used to describe the dominant wind direction.
  14. 28. A cut out at the base of a cliff caused by erosion.
  15. 29. Distance over an ocean which the wind can blow and generate waves.
Down
  1. 1. A narrow elevated piece of land projecting into sea. Surrounded by water on most sides
  2. 2. A wide gently sloping surface found at the base of a cliff
  3. 4. Type of wave that builds up the beach profile making the gradient flatter.
  4. 5. Process of a liquid passing through a filter. For example water seeping into the sand.
  5. 6. Process where a wave changes direction due to shallowing sea bed.
  6. 8. A sandy or gravel bar that connects the mainland with another island
  7. 9. Process of sediment being laid down.
  8. 11. Small bits of loose rock grind along a rock platform like sandpaper.
  9. 13. steep vertical column of rock created when an arch collapses
  10. 15. body of water partially enclosed by land but has a wide opening
  11. 16. The rush of seawater up a beach after a breaking wave
  12. 20. Wearing away of the lands surface.
  13. 24. An area of rock that has vertical or near vertical sides
  14. 25. Type of wave that removes material off the beach creating a steeper gradient.
  15. 30. A small sheltered bay with a narrow entrance
