Answer
  • Refraction
  • Reflection
  • Difraction

Question 15

Question
What is hydraulic pressure?
Answer
  • 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
