Unit 2 · Crowded Coasts: แบบฝึกหัด

In coastal environments, sub-aerial processes play a significant role in landform development. Which of the following is an example of biological weathering?

The diagram of a sediment cell shows the movement of material through a coastal system. Which of the following would be classified as a transfer within this system?

How does the dip of rock strata influence the profile of a cliff face and its recession rate?

The littoral zone is a dynamic area of rapid change. Which of the following correctly identifies the sub-zones that make up the littoral zone?

Offshore breakwaters are a form of hard engineering. What is a significant unintended consequence of these structures on the beach profile landward of the breakwater?

In the context of sub-aerial processes, how does freeze-thaw weathering specifically contribute to the weakening of rocky cliff faces?

Why does ocean acidification, driven by the absorption of atmospheric \( CO_{2} \), pose a specific risk to coral reef ecosystems?

Explain why sustainable coastal management often prioritizes dune stabilisation over the construction of hard engineering structures like sea walls.
