Observation
This question was fairly popular among the candidates and they performed averagely. A good proportion of the candidates who answered it defined erosion correctly. However, some of the candidates could not list the processes of coastal erosion. The required answer included:
- hydraulic action
- attrition
- corassion/abrasion
- solution/corrosion/ solvent action
