Pregunta 2
Pregunta
STACK FORMATION. First, there is a [blank_start]crack[blank_end] opened up by hydraulic action. It eventually gets bigger and forms a [blank_start]cave[blank_end] by hydraulic action and [blank_start]abrasion[blank_end]. This becomes larger. Then it breaks through the headland forming a natural [blank_start]arch[blank_end]. This then gets eroded and collapses leaving a tall rock [blank_start]stack[blank_end]. This is further eroded forming a [blank_start]stump[blank_end].
Respuesta
-
crack
Pregunta 3

Pregunta 6
Pregunta
The stack goes through the process of erosion in the final stage of stack formation.
Respuesta
- True
- False
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
What is the proper geographical definition of a lagoon?
Respuesta
-
A shallow body of water, especially one separated from a sea by sandbars or coral reefs.

Pregunta 8
Pregunta
Headlands are formed when the sea attacks a section of coast with alternating bands of [blank_start]hard[blank_end] and [blank_start]soft[blank_end] rock.
Respuesta
-
hard
-
soft
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
Coastlines where the geology alternates between bands of hard rock and soft rock are called...?
Respuesta
-
alternating concordant and discordant coastlines
-
concordant coastlines
-
discordant coastlines
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
When a wave breaks, water is washed up the beach - this is called the [blank_start]swash[blank_end]. Then the water runs back down the beach - this is called the [blank_start]backwash[blank_end]. With a constructive wave, the swash is [blank_start]stronger[blank_end] than the backwash. With a destructive wave, the [blank_start]backwash[blank_end] is stronger than the [blank_start]swash[blank_end].
Respuesta
-
swash
-
backwash
-
stronger
-
backwash
-
swash
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Tick the 2 boxes that are advantages of groynes.
Respuesta
-
Prevents the movement of beach material along the coast by longshore drift.
-
Protects the base of cliffs, land and buildings against erosion. Can prevent coastal flooding in some areas.
-
Absorb the energy of waves.
-
Allows the build up of a beach. Beaches are a natural defence against erosion and an attraction for tourists.
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
On a purely sand beach, the coarse sand will be at the top and the finest particles will be by the sea.
Respuesta
- True
- False
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
The water behind a spit is a .......... environment. Choose the correct answer.
Respuesta
-
high energy
-
low energy
-
no energy
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
The movement of eroded material up and down, and along the coast is called [blank_start]transportation[blank_end]. When the sea loses energy, it drops the sand, rock particles and pebbles that it has been carrying and deposits them. This is called [blank_start]deposition[blank_end].
Respuesta
-
transportation
-
deposition
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
Abrasion is when waves cause the rocks to crash against each other, breaking them down into smaller and rounder pieces.
