What is a process in geography?

• Something that keeps the landscape the same.

• Something that changes the landscape.

• Something that involves people.

• Something that protects biodiversity.

Which of the following is a type of erosion (a process)?

• Biological weathering.

• Longshore drift.

• Traction.

• Hydraulic action.

Longshore drift is..........

• The movement of sediment along the coastline by wave action.

• Sediment being protected and held in one place by human activity.

• The movement of waves along the coastline.

• Sediment being removed by human activity.

Geomorphic processes are......

• Types of transport processes.

• Only erosion processes.

• Any processes that alter the landscape and its features.

• Anything that involves deposition.

What are the types of geomorphic processes?

• Erosion, transport, deposition, weathering and mass movement.

• Erosion, transport and deposition.

• Mass movement and weathering.

• Weathering.

Which of these images shows erosional features?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Which of these images shows a depositional feature?

• 
• 
• 
• 

The erosional process of hyraulic action involves......

• 2 or more rocks being bumped together to break down over time.

• Seawater acting as a solution to break down the chemical structure of the rocks.

• Rocks, pebbles and sediment being flung at the cliff face by the wave action.

• Seawater working its way into cracks in the rocks under pressure from the waves, which acts to expand the cracks and weaken the rocks over time.

The process of deposition involves.....

• Sediment being dropped by the waves as they slow down due to decreasing energy.

• Sediment being collected by the waves as they speed up due to increasing energy.

• Sediment being dropped by the waves as they speed up due to increasing energy.

• Sediment being collected by the waves as they slow down due to decreasing energy.

Why is erosion so severe at Happisburgh?

• Due to the lack of investment to manage the coastline?

• Due to the geology of the area being soft and easily eroded?

• Due to the rates of longshore drift along the coast moving sediment along the coast?

• All of the above.
