The document discusses various landforms shaped by wave action on coastlines. It describes how wave power is influenced by wind strength and asks questions to understand different coastal features like wave-cut platforms, coves, irregular coastlines, and how erosion rates differ between hard and soft rocks. Specific coastal landforms mentioned include sea caves, sea stacks, sea arches, and stumps. The document seeks to understand if the discussion aligns with textbook descriptions and identifies opportunities to learn from any mistakes.

3. Waves
Waves are one
of the most
powerful
processes
shaping our
coast

4. What
influences the
power of
Waves?
The power of
waves is
influenced by
the strength of
wind

5. What formations do
you remember?
The movement of material
along a coast by waves that
approach at an angle to the
shore but recede directly
away from it.

6. Can you identify this landform?

7. What formations do
you remember?
wave-cut
platform benches
is the narrow flat
area often found at
the base of a sea
cliff or along the
shoreline formed
with rocks

8. Irregular coastline

9. Irregular coastline

10. A cove is a small type of bay or
coastal inlet

11. What would happen if a large
headland jutted out into the
ocean?

12. Would wave action cause erosion
at equal rates?
Hard Rock –
Soft Rock

13. Would wave action be cause at
equal rates?
Hard Rock – Erodes Slowly
Soft Rock – Quickly Eroded

18. So can we explain the formation
from our discussion?

19. Sea cave
Sea Cave
Sea Stump

20. Sea Arch

21. Sea Stack – Dun Briste, Co. Mayo

22. So lets see if what we have
discussed is in line with the text
book?

24. Are we correct?
Or are we incorrect?
Where can we learn from our
mistake?
Thank you for you time.
