| Caves | | When the front of the wave is not too steep and the wavelength is long in relation to its height it is a ________ wave |
| Solution | | When the water crashes against the rocks the debris in the water is hurled against the cliff the rock wears away the base of cliffs |
| swash | | A pointed piece of land jutting out into a sea or lake |
| Bay | | The backward movement of the receding water from the shore |
| Attrition | | As the particles constantly collide with each other they become smaller, smooth and rounded |
| Constructive | | Formed when the roof of the arc collapse leaving a cut-off piece of rock that now stands away from the shore |
| notch | | An enlarged notch caused by the continual erosive actions of waves on rocks |
| Wave-cut platform | | Any steep rock face adjourning the coast forms |
| arch | | Formed when caves develop of either side of a headland and are excavated inward to eventually join |
| Stump | | A large, deep mass of sea extending far into the land |
| Cavitation | | Breaking water against the rock insert tiny air bubbles into the spaces water withdrawal causes the air to compact and then expand resulting in minutes explosions within the cracks |
| Stack | | The widening base of a cliff as it recedes landward |
| Cliff | | The forward movement of the wave onto the shore |
| Cove | | A wide inlet of sea into the coast |
| Gulf | | Formed by prolonged wave attacks on the base of a cliff; it excavates holes by removing the softer rock/areas of weakness |
| Abrasion | | A very high steeply sloping piece of land jutting out into the sea |
| Cape | | A small indentation formed by waves as the attack a line of weakness at the base of a cliff or headland |
| Destructive | | _________ occurs when seawater dissolves the calcium carbonate and other minerals in the rocks leaving open pores |
| Hydraulic | | If the front of the wave rears up to form a steep towering profile before it crashes on the beach, the wavelength is short in relation to its height it is called a ________ wave |
| Longshore Drift | | Eroded stack that becomes visible only at low tide |
| Headland | | The force of the waves repeatedly crashing against the coast, this weakens and eventually breaks the rocks |
| backwash | | The wave approach the beach at an angle and moves out at an opposite angle while material is dragged at 90° angles to the shore |
