Beach - Answer sediment is deposited mainly by constructive waves, and the breaking action of these may from beach cusps and berms. long shore drift also adds material from erosional sources. destructive waves shape them by creating storm ridges at the back shore during high tide. backwash scours sediment away from the beach. offshore bar - Answer a long ridge of sand or pebbles formed formed a short distance out to sea, in shallow water where destructive waves break before reaching the...

GEG111 Exam 4 Review Questions With Verified Answers. Tsunamis - answerSeismic sea wave travelling at high speeds across the ocean that is formed by sudden motion in the seafloor Ocean's physical structure - answerMixing zone-Warmed by sun Thermocline transition zone-Temperature decreases with depth Deep cold zone-Temperatures are generally near 0°C (32°F) but waters do not freeze because of the lower freezing point of seawater Spring vs. Neap tides - answerSpring tide-The highest tid...

Drainage Basin - correct answerAn area of land drained by a river and its tributaries Vertical Erosion - correct answerA geological process by hydraulic action that deepens the channel of a stream or valley by removing material from the stream's bed or the valley's floor Deposition - correct answerThe geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass Bed Load - correct answerDescribes particles in a flowing fluid that are transported along the ...

AQA GCSE Geography: Coasts Questions and Answers Graded A How do different waves form? Wind blowing over the sea. Friction with water surface causes ripples that develop into waves. The longer the fetch the more powerful the wave. What is the fetch? The distance the wind blows across the water What is the swash? The wave breaks onto the beach and moves up it What is the backwash? Water rolling back from the beach due to gravity What is a prevailing wind? A wind coming from the predominant di...

Caravan parks, Golf courses Bangladesh climate? June-September = Monsoon October-April = Dry Population density in Bangladesh? 1000 peo...

Waves Wind creates friction across fetch. Wave energy increases with time+distance Friction with the seabed causes the wave to slow down, as the crest stays at the same speed, it causes the wave to break. Coast A narrow zone where the land meets the sea. It is constantly changing due to the effects of land, marine, human and aeolian processes 00:12 01:24 Constructive Wave Builds up the beach. They deposit the sediment. Low frequency. Beaches tend to be wide and flat. S...
