Shoreline Erosion

Shoreline Erosion What happens to eroded rock? Rock that is eroded is carried towards the ocean as sediment Becomes sand Becomes deltas Becomes sea-bed

Shoreline Erosion Shoreline Erosional Landforms Headlands Sea Cave Sea Arches Sea Stacks Wave-Cut Terrence Beaches

Shoreline Erosion Headlands Finger-shaped projections Form when sea cliffs erode Hard rock erodes faster than the soft rock

Shoreline Erosion Sea Cave Waves cut large holes into the headlands Occur more often in cliffs of sedimentary rock

Shoreline Erosion Sea Arch Waves continue to erode sea caves until it completely cuts through creating an arch

Shoreline Erosion Sea stack Columns of hard rock that were once connected to a headland Waves erode through a sea arch creating these stacks

Shoreline Erosion Wave-cut terrace Created when sea cliffs are worn back Creating a platform or step at the base of the sea cliff

Shoreline Erosion Beach An area of the shoreline made up of material deposited by waves Created once a sea cliff has been completely eroded

Erosional Landforms Summary: What happens to eroded rock? What are some shoreline erosional landforms?

Objective 12/19/12 Explain how landforms are created through erosional processes. Outro Using a Flow-Map, show how headlands can eventually become beaches.
