1. A type of weathering where we see the breakdown of rocks and soil by plants, animals, or microorganisms.
2. Low-energy waves that deposit sediment, building up beaches.
3. High-energy waves that erode the coastline by removing sediment.
4. The water that flows back down the beach towards the sea.
5. Wire cages filled with rocks used as a coastal defence.
6. Erosion where seawater dissolves soluble rocks like limestone.
10. Large boulders placed along the coast to absorb wave energy.
13. A high, rocky outcrop of land that juts into the sea.
14. A natural rock bridge formed by wave erosion.
17. A concrete or stone wall built along the coast to protect from erosion.
