erosion types

Cards (4)

  • Hydraulic action

    Waves crash against shoreline forcing air into cracks
  • Abrasion
    Rocks from the sea are thrown against the shoreline
  • attrition
    rocks in the sea knock together which causes them to be broken down into smaller, round fragments (e.g pebbles)
  • solution/corrosion
    water dissolves minerals in rocks due to a chemical reaction between them.
