EROSION

3. Is a feature of erosion by a young river
A waterfall
A Waterfall is a feature of River EROSION because a river running downhill cuts its passage through rock and earth where it can and when it meets a sudden drop in land a waterfall is formed.

4. River erodes the outside of the meander and deposits on the inside.

5. On the inside of the meander, Deposition happens
The river speeds around the outside of the bend as it cuts its way; the water is much slower on the inside of the bend where mud and silt etc are dropped or deposited.

Coastal Deposition Landforms: Features and Formation

11. These are two main deposition features that you need to learn the formation of. These are: 1. Beaches
2. Spits

12. Features of coastal deposition
Beaches Beaches are the main feature of deposition found at the coast, these consist of all the material (sand, shingle etc.) that has built up between the high and low tide mark.

The main feature of coastal deposition is the BEACH

13. Longshore drift moves material along the coastline.
A spit forms when the material is deposited (or left behind / dropped).
Over time, the spit grows and develops a hook if wind direction changes further out.
Waves cannot get past a spit, which creates a sheltered area where silt is deposited and mud flats or salt marshes form.
Spits
Spits are long narrow ridges of sand and shingle which project (stick out) from the coastline into the sea.

Headland
Bay
The headland is the part that remains pointing or jutting out into the sea
The bay is the curved or scooped out space that the sea waves eroded away
