American Society of Civil Engineers
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is a tax-exempt professional body founded in 1852 to represent members of the civil engineering profession worldwide.

Bay
A bay is a recessed, coastal body of water that directly connects to a larger main body of water, such as an ocean, a lake, or another bay.

Beach
A beach is a landform alongside a body of water which consists of loose particles.

Cave
A cave is a hollow place in the ground, specifically a natural space large enough for a human to enter.

Chalk
Chalk is a soft, white, porous, sedimentary carbonate rock, a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite.

Clay
Clay is a finely-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one or more clay minerals with possible traces of quartz (SiO2), metal oxides (Al2O3, MgO etc.) and organic matter.

Coast
A coastline or a seashore is the area where land meets the sea or ocean, or a line that forms the boundary between the land and the ocean or a lake.

Deposition (geology)
Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Deposition (geology) · See more »
Discordant coastline
A discordant coastline occurs where bands of different rock type run perpendicular to the coast.

Erosion
In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transport it to another location (not to be confused with weathering which involves no movement).

Fresh water
Fresh water (or freshwater) is any naturally occurring water except seawater and brackish water.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Fresh water · See more »
Geological resistance
Geological resistance is a measure of how well minerals resist erosive factors, and is primarily based on hardness, chemical reactivity and cohesion.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Geological resistance · See more »
Granite
Granite is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Granite · See more »
Headland
A headland (or simply head) is a coastal landform, a point of land usually high and often with a sheer drop, that extends into a body of water.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Headland · See more »
Landform
A landform is a natural feature of the solid surface of the Earth or other planetary body.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Landform · See more »
Limestone
Limestone is a sedimentary rock, composed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, forams and molluscs.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Limestone · See more »
Longshore drift
Longshore drift is a geological process that consists of the transportation of sediments (clay, silt, sand and shingle) along a coast parallel to the shoreline, which is dependent on oblique incoming wind direction.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Longshore drift · See more »
Natural arch
A natural arch, natural bridge, or (less commonly) rock arch is a natural rock formation where an arch has formed with an opening underneath.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Natural arch · See more »
Peninsula
A peninsula (paeninsula from paene "almost” and insula "island") is a piece of land surrounded by water on the majority of its border, while being connected to a mainland from which it extends.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Peninsula · See more »
Refraction
Refraction is the change in direction of wave propagation due to a change in its transmission medium.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Refraction · See more »
River
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river.
New!!: Headlands and bays and River · See more »
Sand
Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Sand · See more »
Seawater
Seawater, or salt water, is water from a sea or ocean.
New!!: Headlands and bays and Seawater · See more »
Stack (geology)
A stack or sea stack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast, formed by wave erosion.
