process

Question 1

hydrosphere Hydraulic action

Answer 1

water compressing air into river causing materials to become dislodged

Question 2

hydrosphere Abrasion

Answer 2

when the force of water overthrows bedload against bank causing erosion

Question 3

glacial plucking

Answer 3

when ice freezes on bedrock pulling loose fragments away from the side

Question 4

glacial abrasion

Answer 4

The angular rock embedded in ice as grinds the valley floor

Question 5

coastal Hydraulic action

Answer 5

Pounding waves compress air in rocks creating an explosive blast which weakens and loosens rock fragments

Question 6

coastal abrasion

Answer 6

Rock fragments thrown against the headland breaking down the cliff face and wearing away the rock

Question 7

coastal solution

Answer 7

Carbonic acids in sea water dissolves rock

Question 8

longshore drift

Answer 8

Longshore drift - is a lateral zig zag movement of the waves

Swash -is where waves push material up the beach at an angle due to the prevailing wind

The returning backwash - is dragged back down the beach at right angles by gravity
