Waves and Coastal Erosion
Fieldwork at Bracken Bay
A geography team records conditions at a fictional UK coast. On a calm day, waves arrive every 10 seconds and swash travels up the beach farther than backwash returns. After a storm, waves arrive every 5 seconds; backwash is stronger than swash. The headland is made of jointed limestone. Waves force water and compressed air into cracks, while stones carried by waves scrape the rock. Small fragments are also worn down as they collide. A stream brings sand and pebbles to the bay.
