Q1. What is the coast?• The coast is a narrow zone where the
land, sea and atmosphere all meet.

Why are waves generally larger in the south west than in the south east?
Wave energy depends on the fetch, the strength of the wind and the length of time over which the wind has blown.
Look at an atlas or a wall map to find out the largest fetch around the British Isles.
fetch = the distance over which the wind has blown
