Q

How does where the coastal zone starts vary?

A

Depending on wave size. The wave base will be further out from the beach if wave size is larger

Q

Darwin

A

Travelled through south pacific on his journey and saw a lot of coral reefs. Came up with theory about how coral reef forms. Came up with 3 ideas of the reefs and said they were related because the island sink

Q

Why will coral be left behind if a island sinks

A

Coral grows to the surface of ocean so if a island sinks the coral will remain. Islands sink because they are sitting on tectonic plates

WW2

A

Any war - exhilaration of technology. ww2 d-day invasion alot of time they hit a sand bar of shore. Hit deep trough between sand bar and tough = drowning. Due to a lack of understanding about coastal sandbars.

Q

1970/morphodynamic approach : what does it say

A

All these enviro controls on a coastal system. The system is like a engine and upi have processes like waves and currents and tides which are moving and driving sand. Movement will change shape of beach and different shaped beach will affect the processes. A interconnected system

Q

Why does sea level change

A
  • Movement of plates, e.g. more volcanic activity changing temperature (ice).
  • Astronomical : earth rotates round the sun but it goes as a elipse : eccentricity. And it tilts and wobbles. Sometime eccentricity, tilt and wobble line up and the earth is closer to the sun! Earth gets warmer and the ice melts! Roughly happens 40,000-60,000 years apart - regardless of CC we will eventually get a ice age

The story of bondi beach

A

Go back 18,000 yr ago! Had a ice age- sea level is 120 metres lower ! Sydney harbour was dry! Could walk to tasmania.
So 18,000 years ago bondi beach would have been a woodland. Had big rivers coming down and carrying sand from outback which was dumped on beaches! When sea level rised the sand got pushed back into the old river valleys

A

Daily processes

80
Q

Describe daily processes as a coastal control!

A

-Current -Tide -sand transport
(every day you go to the beach its different - this could be a subtle or a dramatic change) `

81
Q

Motion in the ocean

A

-

82
Q

For every wave there is a ..

A

explanation

83
Q

Wave height (H)

A

distance between crest and trough

84
Q

Wave length (L)

A

horizontal distance between 2 consecutive wave quests

85
Q

Wave period (T)

A

time between consecutive wave crests passing a fixed point

86
Q

H L and T ..

A

very simple to measure and used in most equations to predict how fast waves move across a ocean

87
Q

2 things moving when you sea waves

A

Water particles are trapped in spirals!

88
Q

What happens when waves are in shallow water

A

The motion starts to hit the bottom and this causes friction and the waves start to slow down and then the waves get bigger and bigger over time

89
Q

How are waves formed

A

via wind and the transfer of energy from wind to the waters surface

90
Q

What is wave size dependent on?

A 
Wind speed (faster--> bigger)
Wind duration (longer --> bigger)
Fetch (bigger--> bigger)
91
Q

What is fetch!

A

The distance over the water which the wind can blow

92
Q

There are different types of waves

A

-Wind

93
Q

Wind waves

A

Wave period is between 3- 8 seconds! Can see them being formed by waves in front of your eyes! Short and choppy! The ocean doesnt like to be messy but wind is giving the waves the energy

94
Q

What happens the more waves travel

A

Wind waves –> sort themselves out and become more organised ! They become swell waves

95
Q

Swell waves

A

Formed by wind but they have travelled thousands of km. On top of swell waves you can get wind waves

96
Q

Wave shoaling

A

When the waves start to slow down. The motion at the bottom of waves start to hit the bottom- wave refraction

97
Q

what is wave refraction?

A

When the waves start to bend - different bit of waves are moving at different speeds

98
Q

When waves break they break in a couple of ways

A
  • plunging
  • spilling
  • surging
99
Q

Plunging

A

Curls over and crashes down with great force. Waves come in and go from deep to shallow water over a short distance ! good for surfing! dangerous!

100
Q

Spilling

A

safer - need a nice flat beach! break gently! Good for learning to surf! not about the wave size its about the shape of the beach

101
Q

Surging

A

bulges and then collapses and rushes up beach quickly and then washes back v quickly ! knock over people! minature version of a tsunami

102
Q

Clapotis/ wave reflection

A

big waves comes in and smashes against rock! next waves come in and they smash together and get alot bigger!

103
Q

Tides

A

ocean going up and down. big difference between high tide and low tide.

104
Q

why are tides complex

A

involve interaction between the sun and the moon and the earth

105
Q

Are tides predictable

A

yes v v v v

106
Q

how do tides work?

A

Have earth- alot of water and the moon which is exerting a gravitational pull on the water. As move goes around earth it is dragging bulge of water with it. At the same time the earth is rotating

107
Q

Why does the timing of the tide change?

A

Because the bulge is moving around the earth all the time! moon moving around earth and the earth rotatingg

108
Q

What changes everyday

A
  • timing of tide

- height of time

109
Q

What is the tide range

A

vertical distance between high tide and low tide

110
Q

why is the tide range different everyday

A

because of the sun and it exerting a gravitational pull on the water

111
Q

What happens when sun and moon align

A

Create bigger buldges which create bigger tides = spring tides

112
Q

Spring tides

A

high tides are higher and the low tides are lower

113
Q

Neap tides

A

high tides doesnt go far, small tides doesnt go very far = small tide range

114
Q

Lunar cycle takes.. what does it mean

A

28-29 days - predictable - around full moon and new moon you get big tides

115
Q

King tide

A

Big spring tide bc twice a year the moon is particularly close to the earth

116
Q

The tides around the world

A

The tides change around the world

117
Q

What is the tidal range at a location on the globe influenced by?

A
  • Ocean bathymetry
  • amphidromic points
  • coastal configuration (refraction)
  • continental shelve width (shoaling)
118
Q

what do we need to know about tide range?

A

there are different tidal points, called amphidromic points, all over and depending on how close you are to the point will affect the time of your tides

119
Q

Surf zone is dominated by

A

wave breaking

120
Q

When waves break what do they release?

A

Energy and water released

121
Q

What does white water tell you?

A

The wave has broke and water has been let go!

122
Q

Wave set up is..

A

when waves break the level of surface water rises - by about 10% of wave height

123
Q

Why do you have currents?

A

BEcause can’t just have water piling up all the time needs to go out someway!

124
Q

Why do currents exists

A

due to the spatial gradients in the mean water surface level due to difference in wave breaking/wave set up

125
Q

more wave breaking =

A

more wave set up

126
Q

The strength of current flow increases as…

A

the amount of wave breaking increases

127
Q

Different types of currents

A
  • longshore current
  • bed return flow
  • rip currents
128
Q

Long shore currents

A

Need long and flat beaches.
Need waves to come it at a oblique angle to the beach = water pilled up and pushed along! End up being way down the beach.
Go fast and carry sand = studied alot!

129
Q

Fraser island

A

Sand island - sand gets dumped here because of the great barrier reef! All sand here at some point was at NSW - show important of long shore currents and wave breaking

130
Q

Is there anything in the ocean which pulls you under no?

A

No!

131
Q

Bed return flow

A

Under the water moving to surface there is a flow of water (knees down) moving back out to sea)

132
Q

Where does bed return flow occur?

A

On every beach on the planet which has breaking waves

133
Q

Sand bar

A

ridge of sand built up by currents especially in a river

134
Q

What is between sand bars?

A

A trough - where a rip current will occur!

135
Q

Are rip currents strong?

A

yes strong and fast

136
Q

Rip current prevalence?

A

They occur on all beaches. Less prevalent on long beaches as long beaches are dominated by long shore currents

137
Q

On most beaches which is your main beach type

A

Wave

Q

What is the effect of small waves breaking on wave set up?

A

Make small wave set up –> don’t raise the water level very much at all!

139
Q

What are the 3 stages of rip

A

1- longshore feeder currents (most rips start by flowing along the shoreline)
2-rip neck
3- rip head

140
Q

Rip neck

A

Offshore flowing rip neck - narrow - fastest part of flow

141
Q

Rip head

A

Expand and slow down

142
Q

Do all rips go staight?

A

Nope

143
Q

what happens when rips go out?

A

sometimes they go straight out and sometimes they recirculate? We never really know exactly what they are gonna do?

144
Q

Rip pulse

A

Rips double in pace - normally bc had some bigger waves come in

145
Q

There are different types of rip currents.. what are they/

A
  • channelised rips
  • boundary rips
  • flash rips
  • mega rips
146
Q

C-Channelised rips

A

most C-common
Controlled by morphology : sit in deep channels (green gaps)
Persistent in time and space -can sit in same place for days/weeks
-flow quickly

147
Q

Boundary rips

A

next to physical boundaries , e.g. headlands or jetties! as the water gets pushed against the boundary the water has nowhere to go! there all the time! they are given names, e.g. backpacker express = dont swim against headlands

148
Q

Flash rips

A

Produced by waves, rather than landforms and morphology

  • mobile/dynamic in time and space
  • might be due to loads of big waves!
  • unpredictable
  • happen when its stormy and messy
149
Q

Mega rips

A

Uncommon
-Due to big waves! higher than 3 metres! the wavves which erode houses! not dangerous to people bc would have to be a idiot to be swimming

150
Q

beaches are all different - what is one way we can describe beaches?

A

in there slope! - some beaches can be very steep! Some can be v flat

151
Q

What will a beach slope affect?

A

Affect waves and currents

152
Q

Which beaches are steep?

A

ones made up of coarse material

153
Q

Which beaches are flat?

A

ones made up of fine material!

154
Q

Beaches have a lot of what on them?

A

features

155
Q

What features do you

A

-stand bars - ripples - rip channels -runnels -berm -megacusp

156
Q

sand bar

A
  • deposits of sand off shore which are underwater most the time
157
Q

berm

A

raised mound around the high tide line - bc every wave which comes up dumps sand

158
Q

The amount of sand on the beach is normally related to what?

A

how much sand is in water - normally in sand bars

159
Q

Normally find that if you have a big berm ..

A

you dont have much sand offshore

160
Q

If you have a big storm it chews up all the sand and ..

A

dumps it out in the sand bars

161
Q

berm/bar relationship

A

when you get big waves they take sand from the berm and they put if offshore in sand bars! when gentle waves the sand gets moved from the bar to the berm

162
Q

What are the different types of beaches

A

Different materials

163
Q

What are the main ingredient which determines how a beach looks

A
  • sand size

- wave height

164
Q

Palm beach

A

one side gets big waves - good at moving sand around so you get a big wide beach! Small waves - narrow beach!

165
Q

What are the different scientific types of beaches?

A

-dissipative -reflective -intermediate

166
Q

What is a dissipative beach?

A

-A beach which has big waves and fine sand

167
Q

What is a dissipative beach?

A

-A beach which has big waves and fine sand = wide and flat beach! (lots of energy dissipated by the breaking waves) -stable beaches which tend to look the same everyday! Big waves

168
Q

Reflective beach

A

Steep and narrow

  • small waves (steep)
  • coarse sands/shell
  • beach cusps
  • stable
169
Q

Intermediate beach

A
  • beaches which change
  • medium sized waves
  • medium sized sand
  • have sand bars and rip currents
170
Q

Different types of intermediate beaches are..

A

LBT - long shore bar trough
RBB- rhythmic bar beach
TBF- Transverse bar rip
LTT- low tide terrace

171
Q

RBB

A

rhythmic sand bar

172
Q

TBR

A

Transverse bar rip! Sand bars are transverse to the beach

173
Q

LTT

A

low tide terrace - low tide and flat terrace

174
Q

What do small waves do?

A

bring sand back to the beach

175
Q

intermediate beach behaviour

A

can change between types - no way of predicting because depends on what the waves are doing which depends on the wind

176
Q

Tidal range determines

A

how long shoaling, surf and swash zones act on the beach

177
Q

shoaling

A

increase in wave amplitude that happens when water waves

178
Q

what do big tides do?

A

bulldoze the beach flat

179
Q

Why is coogee different

A

wedding cake island - blocks coogee from having big open ocean swell = small waves ! = steep beach
