25
What is an overhang
An overhang is when the soft rock gets eroded leaving an overhang of hard rock in a waterfall
26
What is a meander
A large curve or bend in a river
27
Where is the fast flow in a meander
The fast flow is on the outside bend where erosion occurs and in the deep channel
28
Where is the slow flow in a meander
The slow flow is in the inside Ben near the small beach and in the shallow channel
29
What and where is our case study
It's the Australia 2010/11 floods in Queensland (north west of Australia)

48
What is Hydraulic action
The sheer force of water breaking the cliff face
49
What is Attrition
When the rocks collide with each other getting smaller
50
What is abrasion
When the rocks get carried by the water and they act like sandpaper wearing away the cliff
51
What is corrosion
The chemical reaction between the sea and some rock types
52
What is a beach
An area of sand, shingle or rock along a coast
53
What is a spit
An extended stretch of beach stretching out to the sea and is joined to the mainland at one end
54
What is a bar
When a spit joins one part of the main land to another
55
What is The Holderness coast
Our erosion case study in Yorkshire where there is a lot of erosion along the coast
56
Why is the Holderness coast vulnerable
The coast is made of softer Boulder clay which is easily eroded The beaches are narrow providing less protection from waves The coastal defences are further north making waves travel south to the coast
57
Effects of Holderness coat erosion
``` Gas terminal at risk Businesses at risk People will loose their jobs Houses at risk of collapsing Property prices have plummeted 80,000m2 of farm land is lost every year ```
58
What is suspension
Finer sand particles carried along with the flow of the river TIP💡 SUSpension Susan is a fine pensioner who gets carried
59
What is Traction
Large boulders rolled along the river bed | TIP💡think of TRACTion in traction as a tractor, tractors are big and roll and long the floor
60
What is saltation
Smaller pebbles are bounced along the river bed | TIP💡SALTation salt is small and bounces along the floor
61
What is solution
Minerals dissolved in the water
62
What are the 6 oceans
``` Arctic Ocean North Atlantic Ocean Pacific Ocean Indian Ocean South Atlantic Ocean Southern ocean ```
63
What are the 7 continents
``` Europe North America South America Africa Asia Australasia Antarctica ```
64

65
What sort of weather do rainforests have
Rainy and high temperatures 🌦☀️🌧
66
In which mountains is the source of the River Amazon
The Andes
67
Name the layers of the rainforest
Emergents, canopy, under storey/canopy and forest floor
68
Name the two features of the rainforest
Vines/lianas/canopy and buttress roots
69
How are drip tip leaves adapted
The tip and waxy surfaces let the rain drip off so it doesn't damage the leaf
