LITHOSPHERE CORE COASTLINES 1 The force of waves hitting a cliff (or sea wall) compresses water and air into cracks and joints. This increase in pressure.

Coasts. Wave erosion coasts formed by the force of waves as they strike the land the waves strike the land and pieces of rock are broken off the wave.

The foreshore

The backshore

Orientation of the map

The Shek O beach

What is the direction we are facing?

The breaking waves – count the number

The breaking waves

Our group photo! Welcome to Shek O!

Where is the wave cut platform?

Ng Fun Chau

Tai Tau Chau

Going down the wave cut platform

Let us go!

Listen very carefully!!

The platform

Cross the bridge

Honeycomb weathering

Granite or porphyry?

Look at the rocks!!

Granite everywhere

The vegetation

Spheroidal weathering

Block disintegration

Going uphill

Geo

And down? Not yet!!

Small wave cut platform

Granite sea cliff

Oh! It is very hot today!

The Shek O tombolo

Tors everywhere

Headland and eroded platform

Ng Fun Chau – note the intensity of wave erosion along the lines of weakness

Returning home

Bye Bye!!
