Which produces 6-8 waves per minute?

Ocean currents have a significant impact on coastal landscape processes

What is your case study for a high energy coastline?

Which type of mass movement occurs in areas of torrential rain where ground has little vegetation cover?

Flocculation typically occurs at wave-cut platforms

What type of coastal system feature are beaches?

Which is NOT a main physical factor affecting coastal systems?

Which is not a common type of delta?

Which will least affect raised beaches after their emergence?

Fjords are submerged glacial valleys. How deep is the water between the steep, cliff-like valley sides?

Rias are submerged river valleys. Which course(s) of the river are drowned?

At a cliff, what forms after destructive waves and undercutting occurs between high and low tide levels?

What type of coastal system feature is onshore sediment?

Which is not an example of hard engineering?

How will shingle beaches at Chesil be modified if sea levels rise of 0.6m in next 100 years?

What type of coastal system feature is longshore drift?

How high are Flamborough’s chalk cliffs?

If sea levels rise by 0.6m in next 100 years, how will rias and fjords be modified?

Which was closer to the end of the Pleistocene when sea levels began to rise?

Sediment eroding from a beach during a storm is an example of positive feedback

At the start of the Pleistocene (100,000 ybp) much water was locked as ice. How much did sea levels fall by?

Which type of mass movement involves saturated material suddenly moving so whole cliff sections move?

Where can several blowholes and over 50 geos be found?

Which is a tolerant plant that would be found in a salt marsh?

Which physical factor is related to the gravitational pull of the moon?

What is your case study for unintentional activity?

What is your case study for a low energy coastline?

Which is an example of a ria?

Sediment budget is the relationship between erosion and what other process?

Waves break when shallow water is reached so the base is slowed by friction and water spills forward

What type of coastal system feature is traction?

Which is the collective name for all material produced by weathering?

What is your case study for intentional economic activity?

How much lower were temperatures at the start of the Pleistocene (100,000 ybp) compared to today?

Which describes the chemical and physical composition of rocks?

Which are NOT found at the Nile Delta?

Which is associated to destructive waves?

Robin Hoods Bay and Flamborough Head are examples of concordant coastlines

Areas devoid of the vegetation are called saltpans

Which does the rate of mass movement NOT rely on?

Which landforms were most affected by the start of the Pleistocene?

Freeze-thaw occurs because ice occupies 9% more volume than water so exerts pressure within the joint

Rain grabbing CO₂ in the air to create carbonic acid and react with calcium carbonate in rocks is called...?

Which is described as the collection of loose rock at the base of a slope?

Shore platforms slope _______ at angles between 0° and 3°

How are delta's formed?

Which are ocean currents least likely to impact?

If temperatures rise significantly, which would have more impact on the modification of raised beaches?

South-westerly winds moved Chesil Beach sediment 50km until attaching to Isle of Portland.

At the start of the Pleistocene (100,000 ybp) much water was locked as ice. What impact did this have?

Which is an example of a fjord?

What type of coastal system feature is wind energy?

Ravenscar and Ness Point headlands can be found north and south of where?

How much did sea levels rise by at the end of the Pleistocene (Flandrian Transgression)?
