headland and bay

what is a headland?

• Is a narrow piece of land that projects from a coastline into the sea

• Is a separated reef from the coast by a deep channel.

• Is a small place that contains many elemtents that make chemical reactions

• It is a separated rock that is far away from the coast and it is more closing to the stumps and stacks in the sea

What is a bay?

• Is a body of water that is linear by land connecting to a body of water like an ocean

• Is a big stump from the coastline destroyed by the a big swash

• Is a curved indentation from the coastline formed by soft rock

• Is a body of water that is linear by land connecting to a smaller body of water like an ocean or lake

Choose types of waves

• Destructive waves have strong backwash and erode coastlines, common on exposed headlands. Constructive waves have strong swash and deposit materials, building up beaches in sheltered bays.

• wears away the coastline. Softer rocks erode faster, forming bays, while harder rocks resist erosion, creating headlands.

• Wave refraction bends waves as they approach the coast. This concentrates energy on headlands, increasing erosion, and disperses energy in bays, promoting deposition.

Choose desposition

• happens when waves lose energy and drop the sediment they're carrying. This often occurs in sheltered bays, leading to the formation of beaches.

• Transportation moves sediment along the coast through processes like traction, saltation, suspension, and solution, shaping coastal features.

Choose longshore drift

• Moves sediment along the coast. Waves hit the shore at an angle, carrying material up the beach (swash), and gravity pulls it back down (backwash), resulting in a zigzag movement of sediment.

• Wears away the coastline. Softer rocks erode faster, forming bays, while harder rocks resist erosion, creating headlands.
