Across
- 2. when sediment is dissolved in seawater
- 6. a pillar of rock where an arch used to be
- 7. a type of mass movement when pieces of rock break away
- 9. a type of weathering when water freezes in rocks and expands
- 10. when rocks are weakened in their original position
- 11. a type of weathering when acidic rain dissolves rock
- 14. a curved area of coast made of less resistant rock
- 15. the distance of water the wind blows over to form a wave
- 17. when water forces air into cracks enlarging them
- 19. the energy of a wave as it leaves a beach
- 22. the energy of a wave as it moves up the beach
- 26. when material is transported in a zigzag movement along a beach
- 27. when waves drop material they are carrying
- 28. when waves move material along a coast

- 20. a gently sloping rocky area marking where a cliff uesd to be
- 21. an area of coast made of resistant rock that sticks out into the sea
- 23. an extension to a beach caused when longshore drift keeps going after a coast changes direction
- 24. a type of mass movement describing when a large area of cliff slides away
- 25. when sediment is dragged against the cliff smoothening it
