They don't. Groynes inhibit longshore drift. Longshore drift occurs when currents develop parallel to a shoreline as a result of wave action, carrying sediment with them. Groynes catch sediment and interfere with these currents. Continental drift, a part of plate tectonics, is a completely unrelated process.

Describe the relationship of continental drift and plate tectonics?
The relationship of continental drift and plate tectonics is that the plate tectonics move and are under the ground and the continental drift is on the top of earth...

What are four ways the seashore can be conserved for future generations?
well you can build a sea wall to prevent erosion, groynes to stop long-shore drift, obviously no litter.
Can a cyclone create continental drift?
No; continental drift is a geological process.

the Continental Drift Theory is the slow movement of the Earths continents. A.K.A the continents drift
Why is a longshore drift a problem at Dawlish Warren?
Longshore drift moves sediment along the beach which lengthens the sand spit. Groynes have been put in place to try and reduce the effects of longshore drift.
