What is a constructive coastline?
A constructive coastline has been formed by constructive waves, which deposit the load carried by the waves. Some features on a constructive coastline are a beach and a spit.
How do waves change the earths surface?
they continuously attack of wave under the cliff canes are formed.they sometime cuts the notch at the base of the surface.and when the notch grow the cliff fall and there appear a platform eroded at the base.wave some time change the surface of earth by the deposition of sand,mud and pebbles along the coast by shore drift.the soft rocks along the coastline is eroded by the continuous wave and bay are formed.but the hard rocks are not eroded and form capes.

What agent of erosion only affects locations along a coastline?
Waves
What happens if rocks shift along a fault line?

When waves enter small cracks and holes in rocks along the shoreline what happens to the rocks?
The water continuously freezes and thaws eventually splitting the rock into pieces creating sand.

What are 5 types of coastal erosion?
Abrassion/Corrasion-Where sand and shingle are picked up by waves and scrap along the coastline. Hydraulic Action-The pounding affect of water on the coastline during storms. Also water and air is compressed into joints and cracks and weakens the rock. Corrosion-When certain types of cliff erodes by the weak acids in the sea. Attrition-When the waves causes rocks and pebbles to bump into each other and break
How waves shape the coastline?
by erosion
Element of nature that can cause mechanical weathering by flowing over or carrying rocks along in a current?
Waves
