Across
  1. 6. Water rushing up the beach. Carries sediment. (5)
  2. 10. South coast case study location. (4,5)
  3. 11. Material carried in the water. Too large to be dissolved. (10)
  4. 12. The force of water getting into rocks. Forces air in the cracks to break rock apart (9,6)
  5. 15. Water rushing back down the beach. Stronger in destructive waves. (8)
  6. 16. Dorset coast. Known for fossils. (8)
  7. 18. Responsible for collapse of a sea arch. (10)
  8. 19. Where the hard and soft rock layers are ranged parallel to the coastline. (10)
  9. 22. Rocks bumping into each other making them rounder and smoother (9)
Down
  1. 1. Coastal defence that protects coastline by building up beaches. Prevents longshore drift. (7)
  2. 2. Just letting the coastline erode (7,7)
  3. 3. What is left behind when a hard rock cliff collapses. (4,3,8)
  4. 4. Hard rock.
  5. 5. Type of wave responsible for building beaches. (12)
  6. 7. Distance the wind travels over to form a wave. (5)
  7. 8. Complete the sequence: headland, crack, cave, ______, stack, stump (4)
  8. 9. rocksfalls, slumping and cliff collapse are all types of this. (4,8)
  9. 13. Hard engineering solution of large blocks that are resistant to erosion. (4,6)
  10. 14. Opposite of wave crest (6)
  11. 17. Where the hard and soft rock layers are arranged at right angles to the coastline (perpendicular). Responsible for the formation of headlands and bays. (10)
  12. 20. Transportation method of small rocks bouncing over each other. (9)
  13. 21. The zig-zag motion of material as it is transported along a coastline (9,5)
