Does hydraulic action directly erode coasts?

Can water cause mechanical weathering?
Yes. Through hydraulic action on rock surfaces.
What are the geographical processes related to the issue of coastal management?
attrition, abrasion, hydraulic action, corrosion and erosion.
What does hydraulic action mean in geography terms?
Hydraulic action is where water and air is forced into cracks in the rocks. The parcels of air are compressed by the surging of water therefore when the wave retreats the air expands. As a result it weakens the joints causing it crack and the rock to shatter.
What is the proper word when rocks are worn away?
All I know is it either could be deposit, hydraulic action, erosion, attrition, abrasion, transport, longshore drift.
What is A feature of coastal erosion by hydraulic action?
Hydraulic action is a process in which the water is forced to go in the cracks of stone and with the passage of time it breaks down so when this action appears it destroys the bank or the coast.This is the feature of coastal erosion by hydraulic action.MARIAKHALID
What is the difference between hydraulic action and abrasion?
By: Gwen The difference between abrasion and hydraulic action is that: In "Hydraulic action" the water flows so fast that it is forced to crack the bank BUT For in "Abrasion" the river bed is broken/cracked because of the rock and stones in the river.
Are bicycle brakes considered as hydraulic action?
depends on the type. There are hydraulic bike brakes, but most are mechanical.

What types of erosion happen in meanders?
hydraulic action and corrosion
What are ways waves erode land?
Abrasion and hydraulic action
How does hydraulic action work?
hydralic action works when the wave came and the sea water are toching together
What two ways waves erode land?
Abrasion and hydraulic action
What are the four processes of marine erosion?
hydraulic action, attrition , abrasion and solution
What are the three ways in which a river erodes its valley?
Corrasion, Hydraulic action, Attrition
How are inlets formed?
Two caves fell creating a gap,hydraulic action was incorporated in this.
Can water cause mechanical weathering?
Yes. Through hydraulic action on rock surfaces.
