7 Wave-cut platform

8 Cliffs and wave-cut platform

9 Caves, arches, stacks and stumps

10 Caves, arches, stacks and stamps

11 When caves are formed on both sides of a headland, their back join and an arch is formed.

12

13 The sea continues to erode the bottom of the arch
The sea continues to erode the bottom of the arch. Weathering also take place on the bare rock faces. As the sea undercuts the bottom of the arch, a wave-cut notch will form.

14 The arch will collapse, in time, as it is pulled down by the pressure of its own weight and gravity. This leaves behind a column of rock not attached to the headland, called a stack.

15 Continued wave erosion and weathering will lead to the formation of a stump that is only visible at low tide.

16 Homework Draw annotated diagrams to explain the formation of landforms of erosion Title before each diagram (in dark pencil) Annotations around the diagrams. Not below!

17 Movement of sediment along the coast

18 Longshore drift

19

20 Impacts of longshore drift

21 What is an estuary?

22 What is dredging? to remove material from the bottom of the sea or a river.

23 Landforms of deposition (constructive waves)

24 Beaches

25 Sandy beach

26 Durdle Door : a shingle beach separated by the famous “door” Dorset UK

27 Seaside resorts often build groynes to keep beaches in place and to reduce the effects of longshore drift

30 On the land side, silt and alluvium are deposited and salt marshes form.

31 Bars

33 Slapton Ley Bar in Devon

34 Example in Cyprus: Larnaca Salt lake is a lagoon with the bar on the East
