The final exam will be composed of two sections: Text chapters 16 (last parts), 17, 19, 18 (characteristics and properties) Section 2: cumulative portion covering material studied prior to test 2, includes only material related to the terms/concepts that are listed below. Coastal environments ii: primary coasts: those that have been formed by terrestrial processes. Rias, deltas, fjords: secondary coasts: have been modified by marine processes, erosional features: those where the landscape is remnants of what is left behind when costal erosion has occurred, cliffs: eroded by waves, wave-cut platforms: 1. Will keep extending but only to a limit. Fairweather/swell waves- low steepness and long and tends to be an onshore movement of sand. But that increases backwash which brings more sediment. Eventually equilibrium which brings out as much as brings in. Wide beach, steep foreshore: storm-well profile changes: shorter, higher, steeper, not movement is offshore direction. Sand bar is built up parallel to shore.
