Ocean 100 Exam 3 Latest Update Graded A+ Coast Land extending inland as far as marine influence is seen. Marine influence ex: fog, vegetation, etc. Offshore Extends from breakers to the edge of continental shore. Beach Shore and nearshore. Very active. Berm Dry area at foot of the coastal cliff: sand. Covered in water during high tide, storm, and tsunami. What do waves do to the coast over time? Erosion. What are the sources of sand to the beach? River and cliff erosion. Su...

Ocean 100 Exam 3 Questions and Answers Already Passed The Coastal region - the parts of the coastal region, starting with the coast all the way to the offshore (we looked at about 6); What wave energy does to a coastal cliff over time - how? Rivers and cliff erosion? ; what about southern California sand supply? Coast: land extending inland as far as marine influence is seen (ex. SD at coast) Offshore: extends from breakers to edge of continental shelf Beach: shore and nearshore, very a...

S-290 Unit 4: Basic Weather Processes (2024/2025) Already Passed The thin layer of the atmosphere provides us with - air we breathe - shields the planet from potentially destructive meteors or other space debris - protects us from ultraviolet radiation from the Sun - stores heat energy that makes the planet habitable for humans and other life The height of the tropopause tends to be highest and lowest where highest over the tropics and lowest over the polar regions If the incoming solar radiat...

What are the parts of a coastal region? - Coast, offshore, beach, berm, notch, wave-cut platform What does wave energy do to a coastal cliff over time? - Wave Energy erodes the cliff, eventually creating sea stacks, caves and arches What do rivers and cliff erosion have to do with sand to the berm? - Rivers: some carry more sediment to the ocean than longshore currents Cliff Erosion: sediments erode to join the berm How is the sand supply in Southern California? - Because of seawalls, ...

Geography (AQA GCSE) Latest Update Already Passed How are waves formed The wind blowing over the sea, friction with the surface of the water causes ripples to form and these develop into waves Constructive waves Low waves that surge up the beach, powerful swash weak backwash, deposit large amounts of material, crests far apart, gently sloping wave front Destructive waves Formed by local storms near the coast, powerful backwash, closely spaced, high and steep, weak swash, narrow the beach, stee...

Edexcel Geography B Paper 2 longshore drift - ANS The movement of water and sediment down a beach caused by waves coming into shore at an angle. the uk moves material from west to east how are beaches formed - ANS when material is transported by longshore drift and deposited by constructive waves. where are sandy beaches found - ANS sheltered bays, they have shallow gradients where are pebble beaches formed - ANS areas where cliffs have been eroded by high energy waves, they have a steep grad...

Name the 4 coastal zones - Answer Backshore, foreshore, nearshore, offshore What is the backshore? - Answer The area between the high water mark and the landward limit of marine a activity. Changes only take place during storms and max spring tides. What is the foreshore? - Answer Area between high water mark and low water mark. (The intertidal zone). Most important zone for marine processes except in storms What is the nearshore? - Answer Area between low water mark and point w...
