Question 5

Headlands and Bays formation

Answer 5

Headlands are formed when the sea attacks a section of coast with alternating bands of hard and soft rock.
The bands of soft rock, such as sand and clay, erode more quickly than those of more resistant rock, such as chalk. This leaves a section of land jutting out into the sea called a headland. The areas where the soft rock has eroded away, next to the headland, are called bays.

Coastlines where the geology alternates between strata (or bands) of hard rock and soft rock are called discordant coastlines.

Question 8

What are joints and faults?How do they affect erosion?

Answer 8

A joint is a fracture along which no movement has taken place, usually caused by tensional forces.A fault is a fracture or break in the rock along which movement has taken place.They affect erosion by

Question 9

Different between hard and soft rocks?Give examples
