erosional and depositional landforms

Question 1

Headlands and bays:

Answer 1

Formed when there are bands of different rock with different resistance to erosion
Bands of rock lie perpendicular to coastline

Question 2

Cliffs:

Answer 2

Variations of geological structure
Landward and seaward dipping

Question 3

Spits (depositional)

Answer 3

Prevailing wind causes longshore drift, sediment is then deposited at the mouth of a river

Question 4

Beach (depositional)

Answer 4

Eroded by cliffs, rivers and seabeds, material can consist of sand or pebbles
90 percent of beach material comes from rivers

Question 5

Beach cusps (depositional)

Answer 5

Different directions of waves meet and form a cusp

Question 6

Onshore bar (depositional)

Answer 6

Bay- longshore drift cuts off the body of water from the ocean

Question 7

Offshore bars (depositional)

Answer 7

Waves erode sediment from beach by backwash and deposits the sediment further offshore
