Coastal Features Headlands and Bays A headland is an area of land which juts out to sea and is surrounded by sea on three sides. Headlands form in coastlines.

Coastal Processes and Terrain

How Is The Coast Eroded By Wave Action.

Coastal Regions. Waves cause coastal features such as Arches, Caves and Inlets. Headlands (shorelines that project into the ocean) erode much faster compared.

What are sub-aerial processes and why are they important? What processes of erosion operate at the coast? What landforms are created by erosion? What.

Coasts Areas where the land meets the sea…... A shore (or shoreline) is the place where the land meets water (between low tide line and high tide line),

MODIFIED BY J.SHANNON The Coast: Erosion

The Coast: Beaches and Shoreline Processes

Coast and Shore Coast: Area of contact between land and sea—Extend inland until meets a different geographical setting Shoreline: Precise boundary where water meets adjacent dry land Shoreline

Waves: transport energy by motion—ultimate source of wave energy is the sun Longshore current: Current that parallels shoreline developed by waves coming in at an angle to shore. Shaping of Shorelines

Longshore Currents Parallel motion of water along shoreline Caused by wave refraction(bending) Causes zigzag motion of water in surf zone

Waves are dominant mechanism in coastal erosion—Water forced into cracks in rock at high pressures Coastal erosion

Wave energy is focused on prominent points that jut out into deep water attack the sides of points and form sea caves, sea arches, and sea stacks by undercutting them Sea stack with sea arch in it

Marine erosion is most rapid on high- energy coasts, areas battered by large waves. ( erosionional shore ) Low-energy coasts are infrequently attacked by large waves. ( deposional shore ) Shorelines Can Be Straightened by Erosion (Wave Energy)

Erosional Shores-Features Protruding bits of land called headlands absorb much wave energy. Wave cut cliffs and sea caves are other features carved out by wave activity.

Erosional Shores Sea arches form where sea caves in headlands erode all the way through. Sea stacks form when the tops of sea arches erode away completely. Bedrock uplift generates a marine terrace.
