Answer 1

slow and can lead to a variety of landforms

Question 2

Wave refraction concentrates wave energy onto the

Answer 2

headland and can contribute to the formation of caves, arches, stack and stumps

Question 3

……………in the headland are susceptible to erosion by hydraulic action

Answer 3

joints

Question 4

Over time the joints widen forming a

Answer 4

cave that is enlarged by hydraulic action and abrasion

Question 5

Eventually, erosion cuts through the headland forming an

Answer 5

arch

Question 6

The roof of the arch will eventually collapse due to gravity and the lack of support
This leaves a

Answer 6

stack

Question 7

stack that will over time be eroded by weathering, abrasion, and hydraulic action to form a

Answer 7

stump
