As water hits the coastline it slowly takes dirt and sediments back into the ocean with it causing the erosion process. Also if it rains and water runs off the coastline it is able to carry sediments that way.

How hurricanes affect shorelines?
they erode shorelines away and put debris in the ocean
How do waves change shorelines?
Waves, especially during severe storms, erode shorelines by washing away sand, rocks and soil.
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.
When do streams erode sediment?
They erode sediments when it snakes back and forth across their valley. xxxJoanna
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 are shorelines formed?
Shorelines are formed through a combination of erosional and depositional processes. Erosion from water and wind wears away the land, while sediment carried by rivers and currents can be deposited along the coast, gradually building up shorelines. Tectonic activity, sea level changes, and weather patterns also play a role in shaping shorelines over time.

How does limestone erode?
Limestone erodes with water. Limestone can also erode through water getting in to the cracks and then freezing. This causes the crack to expand and will begin to erode the limestone.
How would you use erode in a sentence?

What is the major cause of erosion on Earth's surface?
- Rainfall which contains tiny particles of grit and dust; it is the dust and grit which actually erode such things as mountains. - ice erodes as it moves - wind erodes such things as soil - shorelines are erode by the pounding of waves. Related link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion#Causes
What will erode earth material faster regular water or salt water?
Salt water will erode earth material much more quicker.
What body of water shares shorelines with three continents?
Atlantic ocean
The unique patterns of shorelines are mainly caused by which type of erosion?

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.
