systems - wave cut platform

Question 1

inputs - energy

Answer 1

Gravitational - In order to have a macro tide and causes mass movement
Marine - powerful waves to attack headlands
Wind - cause frictional drag to produce waves
Solar - create wind energy to cause variations in air pressure, allows plants to grow - lead to chelation

Question 2

inputs - matter

Answer 2

rock - make up cliff and WCP
sea water - form waves
Rainwater, carbon, oxygen, salt - weather the cliff

Question 3

sub aerial processes

Answer 3

weaken the cliff face

Question 4

mechanical weathering

Answer 4

freeze thaw and salt crystallisation

Question 5

chemical weathering

Answer 5

carbonation and oxidation

Question 6

biological weathering

Answer 6

chelation

Question 7

components

Answer 7

headland, cliff, wave cut notch, wave cut platform

Question 8

outputs energy

Answer 8

dissipation of wave energy - interactions with the cliff and material on the WCP

Question 9

outputs matter

Answer 9

eroded material transported by LSD to other sections of the coastline
Low tide fine material blown away by aeolian processes
offshore currents will remove sediment from the coast
