C2.4: TYPES OF COASTS

You can explain how the height and strength of a wave is determined.

"Movement in a body of water, usually caused by wind blowing over the surface."

Height and strenght depend on three factors:

1. Wind force
2. Length of time that the wind blows
3. Distance travelled by waves

Constructive waves

Sedimentary coast

Sedimentary coast

Coast where the waves leave more material behind than they take away.

Sand dunes in general

Sand dunes at the coast

Destructive waves

Abrasion (cliffed) coast
