Longshore drift is a process of
Erosion
Transportation
Deposition
A headland is made from
Hard rock that is more resistant to erosion
Soft rock that is less resistant to erosion
Material is deposited in
Low energy conditions
High energy conditions
When there is to much material
Which of these is the definition for hydraulic action?
Bits of rock and sand grind down the coast line like sandpaper
The waves smash rocks and pebbles into the shore, and each other, they break and become smoother
Acids contained in the water will dissolve some types of rock
Air may become trapped in cracks in the coast. The trapped air is compressed which weakens the rocks
