Lesson ObjectivesLesson Objectives
This lesson is looking at the different types of wave you can get and how they effect the coast differently.
By the end of the lesson you should be able to:• Define the coast .• Differentiate between three zones of the coast.• Name the two types of wave.• Describe the differences between them• Explain how they change the coastline in different ways.

What is the definition of a coastline?

The coast – a narrow zone where land, sea and atmosphere meet

Constructive WavesSwash
Backwash
Material deposited on beach

Destructive Waves
Swash
Backwash
Material eroded off beach
![Page 9: Coast and waves](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052617/54695062af7959e3018b49a4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Destructive waves mean steep, stepped beach caused by waves pulling sediment off the beach
Constructive waves mean wide, flat and usually sandy beaches as waves deposit sediment on the beach

Constructive and Destructive WavesConstructive and Destructive Waves
ConstructiveConstructive• Height = Low (less than 1
metre)
• Length = Long
• Frequency = Fewer than 10 a minute
• Energy = Low
• Beach gradient = flat
• Main process = deposition
• Stronger swash
DestructiveDestructive• Height = High (more than 1
metre)
• Length = Short
• Frequency = More than 10 a minute
• Energy = High
• Beach gradient = steep
• Main process = erosion
• Stronger backwash

Key WordsKey Words
Fetch – the distance a wave has travelled
Swash – the forward movement of a wave up the beach after the wave has broken
Backwash – water from a breaking wave which flows under gravity down the beach
Constructive Wave – deposits sediment, building up the beach
Destructive Wave – a wave that removes sediment from the beach, eroding it.
