  • Biological
  • Tombolo

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
Which wave type which breaks on a beach with a powerful swash and weaker backwash, moving material up the beach?
Respuesta
  • Constructive
  • Destructive
  • Productive

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
What is backwash?
Respuesta
  • The movement of water up the beach as the result of the breaking of waves
  • Movement of water down the beach under gravitational pull after the wave has broken
  • The small particles of food left in the bottle after you share your drink with a friend

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
What wave process is shown in the diagram?
Respuesta
  • Wave diffraction
  • Near-shore current
  • Long-shore drift

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
How is wave length measured?
Respuesta
  • The horizontal distance between the crests of two successive waves
  • The vertical distance between the crest and trough
  • The distance from one end of a wave to the other

Pregunta 9

Pregunta

Respuesta
  • Cliff
  • Wave-cut platform
  • Notch
  • Rocky headland
  • Parallel dune system

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
What is a berm?
Respuesta
  • A series of mini embayment’s
  • Long narrow accumulations of sand projecting out to sea
  • A horizontal or gently inclined area at the top of the beach

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
What is this major feature of Waihi called?
Respuesta
  • A Tangelo
  • A Toledo
  • A Tombolo

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
The rate of coastal erosion depends on the profile of the coast, resistance and slope of rocks, width of beach and shore, nature of beach deposits, depth of water offshore, and the tidal range.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
The following are part of which process: Uplifting, faulting, folding, volcanism
Respuesta
  • Fluvial
  • Tectonic
  • Climatic

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
What type of interaction between the waves and the coast can clearly be seen in the picture?
Respuesta
  • Refraction
  • Reflection
  • Difraction

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
What is hydraulic pressure?
Respuesta
  • Rocks and boulders already eroded from cliffs and broken down into smaller and more rounded particles
  • The wearing away of cliffs by sand shingle and boulders hurled against them by waves
  • The dissolving of limestone by the carbonic acid in sea water and the evaporation of slats to reproduce crystals which expand as they form and cause the rock to disintegrate
  • When a parcel of air is trapped and compressed with in a joint in a cliff or between a breaking wave and a cliff - the increase in pressure may over a period of time waken and break off pieces of rock

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
Waihi beach is an erosional beach
Respuesta
