1
narrow flat area often found at the base of a sea cliff or along the shoreline of a lake, bay, or sea that was created by erosion
2
Are created in calm weather and are less powerful that destructive waves. Break on the shore and deposit material, building up beaches. Have a swash that is stronger than the backwash. Have a long wavelength, a low height.
3
Are created from big, strong waves when the wind is powerful and has been blowing for a long time. · Occur when wave energy is high. · Tend to erode the coast. · Have a stronger backwash than swash. Have a short wave length and are high and steep.
4
erosion which is caused by the force of the waves against rocks and cliffs. This process takes the form of the sea's waves crashing against rocks and cliffs.
5
is a geological process that consists of the transportation of sediments (clay, silt, pebbles, sand and shingle) along a coast parallel to the shoreline, which is dependent on oblique incoming wind direction
6
loss or displacement of land, or the long-term removal of sediment and rocks along the coastline due to the action of waves, currents, tides, wind-driven water, waterborne ice, or other impacts of storms.
7
this is where rock fragments carried by the waves hit against each other and gradually wear down to form sand and silt.
8
this occurs where the salt water is able to dissolve some of the chemicals in rocks - for example, limestone cliffs are gradually weakened as the salt water dissolves the calcium carbonate in the limestone.
9
movimiento de las aguas en los océanos y, en menor grado, de los mares más extensos
10
type of cave formed primarily by the wave action of the sea. The primary process involved is erosion. Sea caves are found throughout the world, actively forming along present coastlines and
11
Tierra que bordea la orilla del mar y, en algunos casos, la de grandes ríos o lagos.
12
Parte más alta de una ola
13
a pebbly or sandy shore, especially by the sea between high- and low-water marks.
14
Onda de gran amplitud que se forma en la superficie del agua a causa del viento o de las corrientes.
