Sand represents the eroded rock of the continents.
Why cant Nebraska sell its dune sand sand hills to sand-deprived coastal areas where the ocean is stealing the beaches in hurricanes storms etc?
If Nebraska hauled off its sand dunes to the beaches and then another storm eroded away the sand, then Nebraska wouldn't have sand dunes and the beach would not have sand. Is that really what you want?
How do beaches stop errosion?
Beaches do not stop erosion. A beach can be eroded by a heavy sea. Stabilizing the dunes behind the beach helps with the retention and replenishment of the beach sand
How are shale beaches formed?
Shale beaches are formed from the deposition of sediment form nearby shale cliffs which are eroded. The shale can also be deposited at a beach due to longshore drift.

Explain how beaches form and why all beaches are not the same?
Beaches form when tiny bits of rock that have been eroded by the action of the waves wash up on shore. They are different because they tend to be composed of different types of sand (rock bits). For example, beaches formed mainly of lava rock will have black sand, while other beaches may be white, pink, or tan.

Why are some beaches made of sand and some are made of pebbles?
Some beaches are made of sand because bigger particles are eroded by waves. Some beaches are made of pebbles because smaller particles are eroded by waves. I'm not sure about the sand one but the pebbles one I pretty sure I'm right. Hoped this helped! +++ I can amplify that a little. The beach material depends on its primary source, but is always from rocks that have been eroded from the land. ' So if the rocks are principally sandstone they break back down to sand. If they are harder rocks, the beach will be boulders or shingle; if the source rocks is clay and shale the beach will be of clayey mud. Estuary beaches tend to be covered with richly-organic silt brought down by the river. ' If the coastal land is principally Chalk rich in flints (as in my own part of the world) the chalk dissolves away leaving the flints, and these become eroded down to rounded pebbles, as on Chesil Beach, on the Southern English coast.
What starts erosion?
Water and wind are the two key ingredients that start erosion. Windswept beaches, for example, have been eroded over time by wind, while a riverbed has been carved out by water.
