Coastal Landscapes and Processes

(a) Study Figure 12 on the insert a photograph of Flamborough Head on the east coast of England

(i) Name features X and Y

X

Y (2 marks)

(ii) Feature Z is a wave-cut platform Complete the sentences below to explain how a wave-cut platform is formed

Choose the correct words from this list

wave-cut notch attrition advances constructive retreats destructive

stack hydraulic power

The base of the cliffs is attacked by waves These erode the cliffs

by and corrasion forming a This gets

larger until the cliff collapses As the process is repeated many times the cliff

leaving a wave-cut platform below
