Across
- 2. Formed from wave-deposited accumulation of loose sediment
- 7. A low and small wave that carries and deposits sand and other materials onto the beach.
- 8. Formed when weak rocks eroded on either side of a headland.
- 12. The movement of material from one area by water and moved to another area.
- 14. An indentation or pocket in a coastline.
- 15. The laying down of material carried by rivers, wind, ice, ocean currents or waves.
- 16. A significant vertical or near vertical rock exposure. They are usually formed by rock that is resistant to erosion and weathering.
- 17. Formed behind depositional features such as spits, normally cut off from the sea and contain fresh water.
- 18. Formed when a section of rock in the roof of the seacave is weak and eroded by wave pressure causing part of the roof to collapse.
- 20. An island joined to a mainland through a spit.
Down
- 1. Dunes that can develop behind the fore dunes. These may be stabilised by small shrubs and trees.
- 3. A flat area of rock at the base of a cliff.
- 4. The movement of water back down the beach to the sea after a wave breaks.
- 5. continuations of beaches that diverge from the coast, generally formed by longshore currents.
- 6. A large wave that carries sand and other material away in the backwash.
- 9. Formed by deposits of sand, found near the shores.
- 10. The wearing away of soil, rock and other materials by natural elements such as wind, water, glaciers and rivers.
- 11. Formed when further erosion of the rock supporting the sea arch cause it to collapse.
- 13. Formed on both sides of a headland, or if the waves erode through the sea cave to the other side.
- 19. The movement of sand and other materials in a zig-zag motion along the shore.
