Shorelines change rapidly. Erosion and deposition are two processes with opposite effects that shape shoreline features. Which of the following shoreline processes is an example of deposition? A. carving of sea cliffs by waves B. breakdown of gravel into sand C. wave removal of sand from beaches D. accumulation of mud in bays
Waves are important for building up and breaking down shorelines. Waves transport sand onto and off of beaches. They transport sand along beaches. Waves carve structures at the shore.
the reason is Erosion is the process by which the surface of the earth is constantly being worn away. On a shoreline, the process of deposition has the opposite effect because materials are "deposited," or accumulated, along the shoreline.
