And then we did this worksheet/work:
Matching Worksheet: Coastal Features
1. A landform created by the accumulation of sand along shorelines.
2. An area where freshwater meets saltwater, often rich in biodiversity.
3. A submerged, glacially-carved valley filled with seawater.
4. An area where sediment is deposited at river mouths.
5. A coastal body of water connected to a larger body of water, such as a sea or lake. These are usually semicircular or nearly circular in shape
6. A marine structure built by coral polyps, supporting diverse marine life.
7. The periodic rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
8. Opening in a mass of steep rock, often found in coastal areas
9. Zig-zag movement of weathered materials along a beach caused by the swash and backwash of waves
10. Steep rock formations formed by coastal erosion.
11. Rock vertical island, often a pillar that is a remnant of a sea cliff
12. A cape in a lake, sea, or ocean that ends with a steep cliff.
13. a deposition bar or beach landform off coasts or lake shores
A. Coral Reef B. Cliff G. Estuary J. Longshore drift M. Arch
