Across
- 5. - large boulders and rocks are rolled along the river bed.
- 7. - waves which help build up material on the beach, smaller backwash stronger swash.
- 9. - rocks carried along by the river wear down the river bed and banks.
- 10. - minerals are dissolved in the water and carried along in solution.
- 12. - fine light material is carried along in the water.
- 13. - the movement of water down the beach.
- 15. action - the force of the river against the banks can cause air to be trapped in cracks and crevices. The pressure weakens the banks and gradually wears it away.
Down
- 1. - small pebbles and stones are bounced along the river bed.
- 2. Weathering - Animals and plants can wear away rocks.
- 3. Skin - Rocks heat up and expand by day it cools and contracts it self at night
- 4. - waves which remove material from the beach, the swash is weaker than backwash.
- 6. Weathering - it is caused by rain water reacting with the mineral grains in rocks to form new minerals (clays)
- 8. Thaw - When rock is exposed to weather conditions it becomes subject to processes, such as freeze-thaw weathering, that cause it to change and break down.Deposition - When a river loses energy, it will drop or deposit some of the material it is carrying.
- 11. - salts and acids in seawater dissolve the rock gradually over thousands of years.
- 12. - the water flowing towards the beach when a wave breaks.
- 14. - rocks being carried by the river smash together and break into smaller, smoother and rounder particles.
- 15. - an area of land that sticks out from the coast, sometimes with bays either side.
