Coasts odd one out answers

FEATURES OF DESTRUCTIVE WAVES

Set A /

Low Height

/ Circular Orbit / Short Wavelength / Steep gradient

They are all wave features but…

Low height as it is a feature of a constructive wave

The others are features of destructive waves

FEATURES OF CONSTRUCTIVE WAVES

SET B / Elliptical orbit / Shallow Gradient / Short Wavelength / Low height

They are all wave features but…

Short wavelength is a feature of a destructive wave

The others are features of constructive waves

PROCESSES OF WAVE REFRACTION

SET C / Orthogonal /

Groynes

/ Irregular coastline / Headland Erosion

Groynes are a form of coastal management used to trap sediment to reduce LSD

The others are all processes involved in wave refraction

LONGSHORE DRIFT

SET D / Swash /

Fetch

/ Long-Shore Drift / Back wash

Fetch is the distance of open water a wave travels

Long-shore drift is caused by the zig-zag of swash and backwash

TYPES OF COASTAL EROSION

SET E / Weathering by frost and wind / Hydraulic pressure / Solution / Wave pounding

They are all forms of coastal erosion but…

Weathering by frost and wind is a sub aerial form of coastal erosion

The others are all forms of marine coastal erosion

FACTORS AFFECTING THE RATE OF EROSION

SET F / Geology / Beach Width / Fetch / Hydraulic pressure

Hydraulic pressure is a form of erosion

The others are factors that effect the rate of erosion

LITHOLOGY

SET G / Chalk /

Clay

/ Well cemented sedimentary rock / Carboniferous limestone

They are all types of rock but…

Clay is an incoherent (unconsolidated) rock

The others are coherent (consolidated) rock types

EROSIONAL COASTAL LANDFORMS

SET H / Headlands and bays /

Spits

/ Wave cut platforms / Stacks

They are all coastal landforms but…

Spits are depositional coastal landforms

The others are erosional coastal landforms

DEPOSITIONAL COASTAL LANDFORMS

SET I / Beaches / Spits /

Stacks

/ Bars

They are all coastal landforms but…

Stacks are erosional coastal features

The others are all depositional coastal features

SAND DUNE PLANT SUCSESSION

SET J / Birch / Oak /

Marram grass

/ Pine

They are all types of vegetation found on a sand dune but…

Marram grass not found in the Climax/Mature stage of sand dunes

The others are all types of vegetation that could be found during climax/mature stage

COASTAL MORPHOLOGY

SET K /

Fjords

/ Eustatic change / Tectonic activity / Isostatic Change

They are all concerned with sea level change but…

Fjords are an effect of changes in sea level

The others are causes of sea level change

COASTAL MANAGEMENT

SET L / Stabilizing cliffs / Sea walls / Revetments / Groynes

They are all hard engineering strategies but…

Stabilizing cliffs are cliff face strategies

The others are cliff foot strategies
