GEOGRAPHY COAST KQ1
Across
- 2. area that is hollowed due to wave action
- 4. water returns to the sea
- 7. large-scale continuous movements of water in seas and oceans
- 9. less resistant rocks
- 12. waves that build up very suddenly and rapidly break onto the beach
- 13. direction in which the water particles move in
- 14. may form at the end of a spit
- 15. also known as land
- 17. lowest part of a wave
- 18. caused by the collapse of the roof of a cave due to erosion by the waves
Down
- 1. distance the wind has travelled over seas and oceans to form waves
- 3. this platform is submerged during high tides
- 5. when waves strike against a rock surface trapping the air in the rock joints
- 6. formed when less resistant rocks are eroded away
- 8. process where waves changes direction as they approach the coast
- 9. currents that flow parallel to the coast
- 10. sediment size of 256mm
- 11. this wave is also known as swells
- 12. formed by the roof of an arch collapsing
- 16. formed by the erosion of a crack due to hydraulic action
