Soft engineering
What can be the consequence of building groynes further along the coast? Tick all that apply
Beaches further along the coast will increase in size
The rate of erosion can increase.
Beach sediment is cut off so beaches further along the coast shrink.

Climate Change is...
When the climate changes naturally over time.
When the greenhouse effect is exacerbated by the burning of fossil fuels, as well as other naturally occurring events.
When it is sunny in the morning and rains later in the day.

What does ecological footprint measure?
How quantity of natural resources humans need compared to the earth's capacity to provide those resources
The size of cities across the world
The amount of fossil fuels that are burned for energy
The shoe size of the average human
What kinds of resources make up your ecological footprint?

What is responsible for creating most of the waves in the ocean?
Movements of large sea creatures deep down
Container ships carrying goods between continents
The gravitational pull of the moon
The frictional contact of winds blowing over the ocean
Which of the following does NOT influence the strength / energy of a wave?
The distance the wave traveled before it hit land
Whether it breaks on a sandy or stony beach
The strength / speed of the wind that created it
The length of time the wind blew for
What is this the definition of?
"Where water and air are forced into cracks in the cliff face, exerting pressure and breaking it apart"
Hydraulic action
Abrasion
Saltation
Attrition
What is hydraulic action?
The weight and impact of water against the coastline which cause cracks/caves to form.
The way a coastal feature transitions into a new feature
The time it takes for erosion to occur
The way a wave moves up the beach and interacts with the coastline.
Abrasion occurs when:
Little rocks get picked up by the waves and smashed on to the cliffs
Small rocks are smashed against each other, making smaller rocks.
Chemicals in the sea water dissolve the rocks
At low tide when animals enter the coastal environment.
Corrosion occurs when?
Little rocks get picked up by the waves and smashed on to the cliffs
Small rocks are smashed against each other, making smaller rocks.
Chemicals in the sea water dissolve the rocks
At low tide when animals enter the coastal environment.
Attrition occurs when:
Little rocks get picked up by the waves and smashed on to the cliffs
Small rocks are smashed against each other, making smaller rocks.
Chemicals in the sea water dissolve the rocks
At low tide when animals enter the coastal environment.
