FEATURES OF DESTRUCTIVE WAVES
Set A
Low Height
Circular Orbit
Short Wavelength
Steep gradient
Short
Wavelength
Low height
Irregular coastline
Headland Erosion
They are all wave features but…
Low height as it is a feature of a constructive wave
The others are features of destructive waves
FEATURES OF CONSTRUCTIVE WAVES
SET B
Elliptical orbit
Shallow Gradient
They are all wave features but…
Short wavelength is a feature of a destructive wave
The others are features of constructive waves
PROCESSES OF WAVE REFRACTION
SET C
Orthogonal
Groynes
Groynes are a form of coastal management used to trap sediment to reduce LSD
The others are all processes involved in wave refraction
LONGSHORE DRIFT
SET D
Swash
Fetch
Long-Shore Drift
Back wash
Fetch is the distance of open water a wave travels
Long-shore drift is caused by the zig-zag of swash and backwash
TYPES OF COASTAL EROSION
SET E
Weathering by
frost and wind
Hydraulic
pressure
Solution
Wave pounding
They are all forms of coastal erosion but…
Weathering by frost and wind is a sub aerial form of coastal erosion
The others are all forms of marine coastal erosion
FACTORS AFFECTING THE RATE OF EROSION
SET F
Geology
Beach Width
Hydraulic pressure is a form of erosion
The others are factors that effect the rate of erosion
Fetch
Hydraulic
pressure
LITHOLOGY
SET G
Chalk
Clay
Well cemented
sedimentary rock
Carboniferous
limestone
Wave cut
platforms
Stacks
Stacks
Bars
Marram grass
Pine
They are all types of rock but…
Clay is an incoherent (unconsolidated) rock
The others are coherent (consolidated) rock types
EROSIONAL COASTAL LANDFORMS
SET H
Headlands and
bays
Spits
They are all coastal landforms but…
Spits are depositional coastal landforms
The others are erosional coastal landforms
DEPOSITIONAL COASTAL LANDFORMS
SET I
Beaches
Spits
They are all coastal landforms but…
Stacks are erosional coastal features
The others are all depositional coastal features
SAND DUNE PLANT SUCSESSION
SET J
Birch
Oak
They are all types of vegetation found on a sand dune but…
Marram grass not found in the Climax/Mature stage of sand dunes
The others are all types of vegetation that could be found during climax/mature stage
COASTAL MORPHOLOGY
SET K
Fjords
Eustatic change
Tectonic activity
Isostatic Change
Revetments
Groynes
They are all concerned with sea level change but…
Fjords are an effect of changes in sea level
The others are causes of sea level change
COASTAL MANAGEMENT
SET L
Stabilizing cliffs
Sea walls
They are all hard engineering strategies but…
Stabilizing cliffs are cliff face strategies
The others are cliff foot strategies
