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.
Shorelines are temporary geologic and topographic features Explain this statement?
Wave activity moves sediment, sand and erodes shorelines. The shoreline is a transitional zone for the distribution of sediments between marine and continental environment. Is really where land, air and sea meet. Human activity also changes the shape of shoreline by using hard stabilization or constructing buildings. The slowest process affects shoreline shapes as the melting of glaciers did millions of years ago, erosion will eat away slowly and constantly reshape the coast line.

There are 5 on the Pacific Coast, including Alaska and Hawaii. Alaska also has coastline on the Arctic Ocean. Pennsylvania is sometimes included as the 24th on the basis of its Delaware River estuary, a length of about 57 miles.8 states (including Pennsylvania and New York) have Great Lakes coastlines.SaltwaterHere are the figures for the US states that have saltwater (ocean) coasts:Alabama 53 miles (shoreline 607 miles)Alaska (total) 6640 miles (shoreline 33,904 miles)California 840 miles (shoreline 3,427 miles)Connecticut 96 miles (shoreline 618 miles)Delaware 28 miles (shoreline 381 miles)Florida (total) 1350 (shoreline 3,926 miles)Georgia 100 miles (shoreline 2,344 miles)Hawaii 750 miles (shoreline 1,052 miles)Louisiana 397 miles (shoreline 7,721 miles)Maine 228 miles (shoreline 3,478 miles)Maryland 31 miles (shoreline 3,190 miles)Massachusetts 192 miles (shoreline 1,519 miles)Mississippi 44 miles (shoreline 359 miles)New Hampshire 13 miles (shoreline 131 miles)New Jersey 130 miles (shoreline 1,792 miles)New York 127 miles (Atlantic shoreline 1,850 miles)North Carolina 301 miles (shoreline 3,375 miles)Oregon 296 miles (shoreline 1,410 miles)*Pennsylvania 57 miles (shoreline 57 miles - Delaware estuary)Rhode Island 40 miles (shoreline 384 miles)South Carolina 187 miles (shoreline 2,876 miles)Texas 367 miles (shoreline 3,359 miles)Virginia 112 miles (shoreline 3,315 miles)Washington 157 miles (shoreline 3,026 miles)FreshwaterHere are the figures for the states that have Great Lakes shorelines:(Pennsylvania and New York totals include their ocean coasts)Illinois (shoreline 63 miles)Indiana (shoreline 45 miles)Michigan (shoreline 3,224 miles)Minnesota (shoreline 189 miles)*New York (shoreline 2625 miles)Ohio (shoreline 312 miles)*Pennsylvania (shoreline 108 miles)Wisconsin (shoreline 820 miles)
How does energy from waves affect a shoreline?
Waves play a major role in building up and breaking down the shoreline. As waves break against a shoreline, rock is broken into sand.
What is shoreline processes is an example of deposition?
accumulation of mud in bays
What are facts about the shoreline?
Shorelines are along the shore
Are there any plants on the shorelines?

What do shorelines do?

Which of the following is a way in which erosion and deposition affect the oceans?
By forcing water into cracks in the rocks at the shoreline. And in Deposition, waves carry large amounts of sand, rock particles and pieces of shell.
What is the Shoreline miles of West Virginia?

Do they use the shoreline to navigate?
