1.Define the following terms:
a) Coastline
Coastlines are the boundary between the land and the sea.​

b) Backwash
The backward movement of waves.

c) Swash
The forward movement of waves with splash

2. Describe three ways in which coasts are importance
1.Coasts provide unique homes to a variety of marine plants and animals such as fish and planktons.

3. a) Waves shape the coast through three main process, One of them is wave erosion, name the other two processes.
b Describe each of the process briefly

Wave transportation
Wave Deposition

Wave erosion- Waves breaking down or wearing away materials along the coast.

Wave transportation- The process by which eroded materials are transported by the waves.

Wave deposition- The process by which eroded materials are dropped by the waves along the coast
