2 - Coastal Landscapes and Processes Revision Activities.docx

1. _ Coastal Landscapes and Processes - Physical Processes / Influence of Geology / UK’s Weather and
Climate
 Put the following physical processes into pictures
- processes of erosion ( attrition, hydraulic action, abrasion, solution )
- transportation ( traction, saltation, suspension, solution, longshore drif )
- deposition
- weathering ( chemical, mechanical, biological )
- mass movement ( sliding, slumping, rock fall )
 Produce flash cards for concordant and discordant waves, joints and faults, destructive and
constructive waves (you could you diagrams, pictures, descriptions etc.).
 The unpredictability of the UK’s weather and climate affects the rates of coastal erosion and retreat,
impacting on landforms and landscapes.
Explain how sliding can cause downhill movement of material.
