Coastal Management
Across
- 3. system formed by the interactions of living organisms and physical elements of environments
- 4. Dunes/The dunes before the back dunes and closest to the sea
- 5. Nourishment/Atrificial sand is dumped on a beach
- 6. the parts of a river that are tidal and occur at the sea. They catch mud, sand and nutrients.
- 7. bending of waves casued by contact with the sea floor
- 10. Development/Developing that meets the need of the world at the present in time
- 13. movement of water up on the beach after a wave breaks
- 14. of the impact of development on the physical environment as well as social and economic impacts
- 18. weak rocks breakdown and disolve in salt water or disintigrate because of salt crystalisation
- 23. Surge/A rise in sea level resulting from the effects of intense storm systems
- 24. Waves/Large wave that carries material and sand away from the shore in its backwash
- 25. Drift/The movement of sand and other materials across a beach
- 26. slope on a surface, stream or road
Down
- 1. of dune with no vegetation
- 2. Climate/Seasonal variations in the size, character and direction of waves
- 3. fair and just and ensuring an even share
- 5. the water goes back out to sea after a wave breaks
- 8. sidewards, cut in half view of something
- 9. Dunes/The dunes located behind the foredunes
- 11. laying down of material carried by ice, wind, rivers, ocean currents and waves
- 12. breaking down and wearing away of soil and rock caused by water and wind
- 15. on a map connecting areas of equal barometric pressure
- 16. Wave/A wave that brings in sand and materials to the shore
- 17. way of viewing something
- 19. Notch/A hollow eroded by the impact of waves at a foot of cliff
- 20. in a mound, held together by vegetation
- 21. cross-section that also shows the land use of the area
- 22. little island joined to the main land by a stretch of sand.
- 26. wall sloped at 90 degrees to the beach to help stop longshore drift
