Evaluate the view that rates of coastal recession are largely controlled by geological factors20

Question 1

Wave Energy and Tidal Range for

Answer 1

High-energy waves (common in exposed coastlines) can cause rapid erosion, while low-energy waves (common in sheltered coastlines) cause slower erosion.

Tidal range affects the vertical extent of erosion and can influence the deposition of sediments.

Question 2

against

Answer 2

Even the most destructive waves hard to erode most resistant rock will take years

normally not powerful enough needs wind
