9. Which type of coastal erosion involves destructive waves picking up beach material
hurling them at the base of a cliff?
a. Corrasion b. Hydraulic action
c. Attrition d. Abrasion
10. It’s also known as the sandpaper effect that involves breaking waves containing sand
and bigger fragments eroding the base of a cliff.
a. Corrasion b. Hydraulic action
c. Attrition d. Abrasion

11. Kind of coastal erosion that involves waves hitting the bottom of the cliff causing air to be

pressure. As air rushes out of the cliff when the wave retreats it resulting to an explosive
effect as pressure is released. This process is supported further by the weakening effect of
weathering. The material breaks off the cliffs and sometimes in huge chunks.
a. Corrasion b. Hydraulic action
c. Attrition d. Abrasion

acids in the sea?
a. Corrasion/ solution b. Hydraulic action
c. Corrasion d. Abrasion

14. Which of the following is NOT a factor that affects rates of coastal erosion?
a. Geology
b. Strong winds blowing for a long time creating destructive waves

a. It is created by the rain
b. It is created by water cycle
c. It is created by people in ships
d. It is created by the wind blowing over the surface of the sea
