Dynamic landscapes

2. this is formed when erosion enlarges caves and it breaks through the headland.
3. this is a type of beach created by longshore drift
5. The breaking down of rocks, soil and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth’s atmosphere, water and biological organisms.
8. these are natural forms of soft engineering and can be found in Amager Strand to protect against flooding.
9. When rocks dissolve in water (sea or river), leading to a chemical change.
10. The movement of material along the beach in a zigzag formation is called ............. drift.
11. the type of wave that can be found in stormy conditions, with a strong backwash, resulting in lots of erosion.
13. In coastal erosion the waves pick up stones and rocks and throw them against the coast / cliff. The stones break up and the coastal rock itself breaks up
15. The power and weight of a crashing wave forces air into cracks in rocks. The air pressure weakens the rock......... action.
16. this is land formed along the coastline as hard rock erodes more slowly than soft rock.

1. During glaciation ice freezes to the rocks, then as the glacier moves the frozen rocks are pulled away and travel with the glacier.
2. Where the stones in the river collide with each other, breaking up, getting smaller, smoother or rounder.
4. The process by which soil and rock particles are worn away and moved elsewhere by gravity, or by a moving transport agent – wind, water or ice.
6. these are forms of hard engineering, to reduce the movement of material along the coast, holding the beach in place.
7. the type of wave that can be found in calm weather, with strong swash, transporting and depositing material along the beach.
12. The processes by which the sediment is moved along – for example, pebbles rolled along a river-bed or sea shore, sand grains whipped up by the wind, salts carried in solution.
14. this is when soft rock along the coastline erodes more quickly than hard rock.
