Across
  1. 3. A _ forms when storm waves pile up large amounts of sand above sea level, forming a long narrow island parallel to the coast.
  2. 4. _ are beaches that project like a finger out into the water.
  3. 7. _ are the result of powerful storms far out at the sea.
  4. 8. The energy in waves comes from _ that blows across the water’s surface.
  5. 9. A _ is formed as waves hollow out the cliff.
  6. 10. A _ is a long ridge of sand parallel to the shore.
  7. 12. _ stand out from the coast because they are made out of harder rock that resists erosion by the waves.

  9. 15. _ can produce waves in lakes or small ponds.
  10. 16. A _ is what is left standing when a sea arch collapses.
Down
  1. 1. The energy from the wind is transferred to the _.
  2. 2. Waves shape the coast through _ by breaking down rock and transporting sand (and other sediments).
  3. 4. A _ is formed when sea caves on either side of a headland join.
  4. 5. As waves repeatedly hit the beach, some of the beach sediment moves down the beach with the current.
  5. 6. _ are the major force of erosion along coasts.
  6. 11. A _ is an area of wave-washed sediment along a coast.
  7. 14. _ is the wearing away of rock by a grinding action.
