Land formations[
Across
- 3. deep narrow depression in the ocean floor formed at subduction zones where tectonic plates collide
- 8. The wearing away of coastal land by natural forces such as waves, tides, and currents.
- 9. A landform at the mouth of a river where sediment is deposited faster than it can be removed by tides and waves.
- 10. Long, narrow islands made of sand that run parallel to the mainland coast.
- 11. a pillar of rock isolated from the coast by erosion of An arch
Down
- 1. A narrow strip of sand or shingle that extends from the coast into the sea, formed by longshore drift.
- 2. Adding sand or shingle to beaches to replace eroded material.
- 4. A steep rock face along the coast, formed by processes of erosion and weathering.
- 5. steep descent from the edge of the conirntsl shelf to the ocean floor
- 6. Underwater mountain range formed by plate tectonics where new oceanic crust is created.
- 7. structure buoy perpendicular to the shore to trap sediment moved by longshore drift
