Across
- 3. sediment being transported in the littoral zone, by the current.
- 4. low energy waves that do not break fully.
- 7. the return of water flow down a beach.
- 8. waves breaking up beaches with low angles.
- 9. movement of water through a filtering medium.
- 11. when waves approach the shore at an angle.
Down
- 1. the pattern in which the water current runs parallel to the beach.
- 2. beaches in winter that have low gradient shores that allow them to absorb energy and enable waves to travel further up.
- 5. waves break this way when they are slow, approach a steep beach and enclose an air space.
- 6. when the backwash is in similar proportion to the swash, the beach is in...
- 10. low wave energy and steep gradients cause energy to be directed back to sea in a _______ beach.
