2 Sediment Rock based material that has been broken down by weathering and erosion and then transported by the action of wind, water or ice and the force of gravity

3 Sediment Rock based material that has been broken down by weathering and erosion and then transported by the action of wind, water or ice and the force of gravity

4 Processes Long shore drift Erosion (coastal)

5 Types of Geomorphic Processes
Long Shore Drift Erosion (coastal)

6 Long Shore Drift The method by which sediment is transported along a coastline Swash & Backwash Video

7 Erosion Coastal erosion is the wearing away of land and the removal of beach or dune sediments by wave action, tidal/wave currents, drainage or high winds. Video

8 Types of landforms Sand dunes (long shore drift) Current coastline
Cliffs Blowhole Wave cut platform Bay (Softer rock) Arch Headlands (hard rock) Stacks (erosion)
