Question 1

What is the Traction

Answer 1

the action of drawing or pulling something over a surface, especially a road or track.

Question 2

What is Saltation

Answer 2

the transport of hard particles over an uneven surface in a turbulent flow of air or water.

Question 3

What is suspension

Answer 3

material is carried along in the water.

Question 4

Hydraulic power

Answer 4

Waves crash against rock and compress the air in the cracks. This puts pressure on the rock. Repeated compression widens the cracks and makes bits of rock break off.

Question 5

Abrasion

Answer 5

Eroded particles in the water scrape and rub against rock, removing small pieces.

Question 6

Attrition

Answer 6

Eroded particles in the water smash into each other and break into smaller fragments. Their edges also get rounded off as the6 rub together

Question 7

Solution

Answer 7

Acids contained in sea water will dissolve some types of rock such as chalk or limestone.

Question 8

Hard rock

Answer 8

Are resistant to weathering erosion so a coastline made of granite (e.g., Land’s End) will change slowly.

Question 9

Soft rock

Answer 9

Are more susceptible to weathering erosion so a coastline made of chalk (e.g., Dorset) will change relatively quickly.

Question 10

Destructive Wave

Answer 10

~They tend to erode the coast.
~They have a stronger backwash than swash.
~They have a short wave length and are high and steep.

Question 11

Constructive

Answer 11

They break on the shore and deposit material, building up beaches.
They have a swash that is stronger than the backwash.
They have a long wavelength, and are low in height.

Question 12

Biological waethering

Answer 12

Weakening of rock by plants, animals and microbes.

Question 13

Chemical weathering

Answer 13

The erosion of rocks, building materials, etc., caused by chemical reactions (chiefly with water and substances dissolved in it) rather than by mechanical processes.k
