Across
4.A pointed piece of land jutting out into a sea or lake
7.If the front of the wave rears up to form a steep towering profile before it crashes on the beach, the wavelength is short in relation to its height it is called a ________ wave
8.The forward movement of the wave onto the shore
9.Formed when caves develop of either side of a headland and are excavated inward to eventually join
12.The wave approach the beach at an angle and moves out at an opposite angle while material is dragged at 90° angles to the shore
14._________ occurs when seawater dissolves the calcium carbonate and other minerals in the rocks leaving open pores
15.Formed by prolonged wave attacks on the base of a cliff; it excavates holes by removing the softer rock/areas of weakness
17.A wide inlet of sea into the coast
18.The force of the waves repeatedly crashing against the coast, this weakens and eventually breaks the rocks
19.Any steep rock face adjourning the coast forms
20.As the particles constantly collide with each other they become smaller, smooth and rounded
21.Eroded stack that becomes visible only at low tide
22.An enlarged notch caused by the continual erosive actions of waves on rocks
Down
1.Formed when the roof of the arc collapse leaving a cut-off piece of rock that now stands away from the shore
2.Breaking water against the rock insert tiny air bubbles into the spaces water withdrawal causes the air to compact and then expand resulting in minutes explosions within the cracks
3.The widening base of a cliff as it recedes landward
5.When the water crashes against the rocks the debris in the water is hurled against the cliff the rock wears away the base of cliffs
6.A small indentation formed by waves as the attack a line of weakness at the base of a cliff or headland
10.The backward movement of the receding water from the shore
11.When the front of the wave is not too steep and the wavelength is long in relation to its height it is a ________ wave
13.A very high steeply sloping piece of land jutting out into the sea
16.A large, deep mass of sea extending far into the land
