Across
  1. 2. An area of water cutoff from the sea by a sandbar.
  2. 6. Material eroded,backwash greater than swash
  3. 9. When a wave breaks where water rushes up the beach.
  4. 11. Material,sand/rocks, thrown by waves against the coast
  5. 14. Some rocks likelimestone and chalk,dissolved by water.
  6. 15. A curved area where the waves have eroded the coastline.
  7. 16. The distance of open sea over which the wind blows.
  8. 18. A tunnel into a cliff, usually at the base.
  9. 19. Stones in water eroding against each other leading to sand formation.
  10. 21. Material transported by waves such as sand,shingle,mud.
  11. 22. A long ridge of sand/shingle stretched across a bay connected to one side of bay.
  12. 23. Physical Force, a process of coastal erosion
  13. 25. The movement of the load along the coasdt.
  14. 27. Water returning back down beach after wave breaks
  15. 28. An area of hard rock jutting into the sea.
Down
  1. 1. Material is deposited,swash greater than backwash
  2. 3. The rock that is left at the former cliff base.
  3. 4. This carries material back down the shore.
  4. 5. Rock pillar cutoff from the cliff,left standing alone after arch collapses.
  5. 7. A passage that links the surface of the clifftop with the roof of a seacave.
  6. 8. A build-up of sand/shingle,deposited by constructive waves.
  7. 10. Air getting trapped in joints in cliff face,rock eventally shatters.
  8. 12. This is a vertical or steep slope on the coast.
  9. 13. During stormy weather conditions this can be seen coming out of the blowhole.
  10. 17. Sand on beach blown inland by onshore winds.
  11. 20. Ridge of sand that connects the mainland to an island.
  12. 24. An arch-shaped tunnel that stretches through a headland.
  13. 26. Over time the sea stack is eroded and collapses.
