What Eustatic sea level change affects shorelines?
Warming (and thus expanding) water from the warming atmosphere, as well as water melting from glaciers and ice caps is causing the eustatic (world-wide) sea level change that is threatening the shorelines.
How hurricanes affect shorelines?
they erode shorelines away and put debris in the ocean
How could the type of shoreline affect the types of sediment you find there?
Rocky shorelines have rocks and cliffs, so when the waves crash against the rock fragments and sediments are formed along the shoreline.
How do shorelines change?
Sea-levels rise, moving shorelines back.Severe storms erode beaches and shorelines.Land rises or falls slightly.Rivers deposit sediment at river mouths, creating deltas.Humans reclaim low-lying land by adding soil, rocks and concrete.
What do you think happens s when waves hit rocks along the coastline?
They get wet. They also slowly wear down or erode.
When waves crash against rocks on coasts or shorelines?
on shorelines
How do waves change?
Waves, especially during severe storms, erode shorelines by washing away sand, rocks and soil.
What can erosion by waves destroy?
sandy shorelines
The constant action of waves is a major source of erosion along shorelines?
waves
When may a storm not produced high-energy waves?
During storms,large, high-energy waves can erode the shore very quickly. These waves can break off large chunks of rock. Many of the features of shorelines are shaped by storm waves.
Is the constant action of waves a major source of erosion along shorelines?
Yes
What are the effects waves and current have on shorelines?
They affect shorelines because, they cause erosion so it causes the beach or island to shrink
How do shorelines change over time?
suck it
How do ocean shorelines change over time?
suck it
Do headlands or bays or regular shorelines experience more erosion?
headlands will experience the most, because they are the line of least resistance (sticking out into the sea) and will catch the full force of the waves, as opposed to the bays and shorelines they shelter.
What are two problems cause by beach erosion?
you can lose your house also shorelines change
What Eustatic sea level change affects shorelines?
