Destructive waves are ✔️✔️High and steep and have a high-frequency
the backwash is more powerful than the swash
meaning material is removed from the coast
Destructive waves ✔️✔️large waves that carry sand and other material away in the backwash
and REMOVE MATIERAL
Transportation ✔️✔️Is the movement of material by either longshore drift, traction, saltation
,suspension or solution
Material is transported along coasts by a process called ✔️✔️Long shore drift
long shore drift ✔️✔️The prevailing wind (the direction the wind ususally blows from) causes
waves to approach the coast at an angle. The swash carries the sand and pebbles up the beach
at the same angle (usually 45º). The backwash, however carries the material back down the
beach at right angles (90°) as this is the steepest gradient.
The four processes of transportation are ✔️✔️Traction
Saltation
Suspension
Solution
Traction ✔️✔️Large particles are pushed along the seabed by the force of water
Saltation ✔️✔️Small pebbles and stones are bounced along the river bed
, Suspension ✔️✔️Small particles are carried along by the water
Solution ✔️✔️Soluble materials dissolve in water and are carried in the sea
Deposition ✔️✔️When material being carried by the sea water is dropped on the coast
Constructive waves are ✔️✔️Low and long
The swash is more powerful and the backwash is weaker
It carries material up at the beach and doesn't take a lot of material back down the beach
Constructive waves ✔️✔️waves that carry and deposit sand and other materials
Holderness coast ✔️✔️Mappleton is a small village that could become lost to the sea. The road
running through it, the B1242 links towns along the coastline and would have been lost to
coastal erosion if protection measures were not put into place. So, blocks of granite were
brought in and placed along the cliff base and 2 rock groynes were put into place to trap
sediment moving because of longshore drift. However there are now problems further down
the coast at great cowdens farm.
Cross profile ✔️✔️The side to side cross-section of a river channel and/or valley
Dam and reservoir ✔️✔️A barrier(made on earth, concrete or stone) built across a valley to
interrupt river flow and create a man‐made lake(reservoir) which stores water and controls the
discharge of the river
Discharge ✔️✔️The quantity of water that passes a given point on a stream or river‐bank within a
given period of time
