Does deposition wash away beaches?
Deposition does not wash away beaches; rather, it contributes to the buildup of sediment along shorelines. When sediment is transported by waves and currents, it can accumulate in certain areas, forming or enlarging beaches. However, if erosion occurs simultaneously due to strong waves or storms, it can lead to beach loss. Thus, while deposition can enhance beach areas, erosion can counteract this effect.
Can storm winds wash away barrier beaches?
Yes, storm winds can contribute to erosion on barrier beaches by moving sand and reshaping the shoreline. This can result in the loss of sand dunes and protective vegetation, making the beach more vulnerable to future storms and sea level rise. Coastal management strategies such as beach nourishment and vegetation restoration can help mitigate these impacts.
What causes seaweed to wash up on beaches?

What cause the MOST of the changes in beaches and shoreline earthquakes or tornadoes or wind and waves or heating and cooling?
wind and waves
How do events such as tornadoes hurricanes volcanic eruptions earthquakes and flooding rapidly change the surface features of the earth?
Volcanoes can build mountains fairly quickly, and destroy them even faster. They can form new lakes, and islands, and just as easily make them disappear. Flooding can change the courses of rivers and wash away terrain. Tornadoes can level forests ans strip away vegetation.
How do cigarette butts get onto the beach?
people who smoke go to the beach and are to lazy to throw them away. They wash down storm drain inlets during rainstorms, entering our streams and rivers that empty on to our beaches. Go after a large storm and see how many butts wash up on shore, it is saddening.
