How do waves currents tides and storms affect geological features?
The crashing waves can change everything in the ocean floor also everything in the types can be different from everything. Tides can be different from different types of things due to the currents ocean waves and tide. Tides can be very different and everything can be very unchanged and it can be hard to determine. The difference between the storms can be different between every type of storms. The harbors can be different for all different types of everything. Waves and currents, driven by tides and storms, remove sediment from one area and deposits it in another area. Beaches and barrier islands are formed by deposition. Inlets and harbors are formed by erosion.
