Across
- 4. deposit of sediment connecting an island to the mainland
- 9. a cross-section taken perpendicular to a given beach contour, extending from the dune or seawall into the near-shore zone
- 11. a long, narrow offshore deposits parallel to shore
- 13. a structure built perpendicular to the beach and designed to protect an inlet
- 15. wet sloping surface from the berm to the shoreline
- 17. man-made structure designed to control erosion
- 18. sediment made from material eroded from the land.
- 20. seaward from the breakers to the edge of the Continental shelf
- 22. low tide line seaward to the breakers
- 23. sediments originating from space.
- 24. a wall built to protect an eroding coastline
- 25. deposit at the mouth of a river
- 27. movement of sand along the coast carried by the long-shore current
Down
- 1. low area between beach face and long-shore bar
- 2. sediments directly precipitated from water.
- 3. a structure built perpendicular to the coast to trap sand carried by long-shore transport
- 5. a structure built parallel to the beach which traps sand carried by long-shore current by blocking waves
- 6. sandbar across the mouth of a bay
- 7. deposit of sediment parallel to the shore out in the surf zone
- 8. dry backshore to the dunes
- 10. landward of the high water line
- 12. landward limit of the effect of the highest storm waves on the shore
- 14. Zone – between high and low water (intertidal zone)
- 16. sediment that comes from the hard remains of plant and animal organisms that have died.
- 19. movement of water parallel to the beach, caused by waves striking the beach at an angle
- 21. deposit of sediment along the coast
- 26. a strip of land that extends inland from the coastline as far as marine influence is evidenced in the landforms
- 28. deposit of sediment attached to the beach and parallel to the shore
