What is the process by which beach sediment moves down the beach with the current?
the process in which beach sediment move down a beach with the current
Is longshore drift the cause or the effect of a longshore current explain?
effect. longshore drift is the combined effect of sediments moved by longshore currents and and beach drift. longshore currents are ocean currents that flow parallel to the coast while beach drift is the resultant zigzag movement along the beach.

Is longshore drift the cause or the effect of a longshore?
Longshore drift is the effect of longshore current because the water moves a certain way and causes the sand to take shape.
Longshore current and longshore drift?
Longshore current is the movement of water nearest the coast. Usually caused by tides. Longshore drift is the movement of beach or coastal material, by longshore drift. The action of waves loosen the material, which is then moved by the current and deposited further down tide. The action is greater during storms.
What drift in longshore drift?
Beach sediment
What is the difference between longshore drift and longshore current?
Current is with water and drift is moving sediments in the current
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.

What is the zig zag movement of sand along the shoreline?
Longshore drift is the process that moves sand and other sediments along a shoreline. It is also referred to as longshore transport or littoral drift.
