wave transportation

Question 1

solution

Answer 1

minerals that have been dissolved into the water

Question 2

suspension

Answer 2

small particles of sand, silt and clay - carried by currents

Question 3

saltation

Answer 3

larger material that can’t constantly be carried by suspension - carried short distance - then dropped again

Question 4

traction

Answer 4

large particles - pushed along the sea floor by the force of the flow

Question 5

LSD

Answer 5

wave approaches the coast at right angle due to direction of dominant wind - when wave breaks sediment carried up beach as swash at oblique angle - potential energy and gravity cause wave to fall back down beach as backwash - this movement repeated causes sediment to be moved along the beach - leads to attrition of beach sediment causing particles to become smaller
