What is the difference between hard and soft engineering management of coastal erosion?
Hard Management: Hard management is the more traditional response to erosion and involves the construction of structures which stop wave energy reaching the shore, or absorb and reflect the energy. These have often caused problems themselves, such as increasing erosion elsewhere, and soft construction techniques have become more popular because of this. Soft management: These techniques involve promoting natural systems such as beaches and salt marshes which protect the coast, and are usually cheaper to construct and maintain than hard management techniques, and may be self-sustaining.
What does rip rap do?
Riprap combats erosion on the bank or shore of a body of water or a stream. The stone deflects or absorbs the motion of the water (waves, streams) so they either do not reach the soil on the waters edge or minimizes the effect that erosive action.
What is the job of a groyne at the beach?
A groyne is a structure which is built at least partially underwater to inhibit water flow and control the movement of sediment. The purpose of a groin at the beach is either to create more beach or to prevent the erosion of an existing beach.

What are some causes of beach erosion?
Winds and waves are the major contributors of beach erosion. Over building by people close to the shore causes erosion to speed up.
How does water wind people animals bring about soil erosion?
Make shore that they are clean and safe
What are four ways the seashore can be conserved for future generations?
well you can build a sea wall to prevent erosion, groynes to stop long-shore drift, obviously no litter.

What are three ways to slow down erosion?
1. Build sea walls, etc. at the edge of the sea. 2. Build forward, e.g. groynes, beach nourishment. 3. Build off shore defenses, e.g. offshore bars or breakwater. 1. Drainage pipes 2. Sea walls
Why should you avoid operating your motorboat above no wake speed near shore?
It causes erosion
What Technique of protecting beaches from wave erosion?
Generally achieved by the building of periodic breakwaters along the shore, which baffles the wave action and reduces the effects of wave erosion.
What is an example of erosion works rapidly?
An example is the shore pushing and pulling sand, taking some and moving it everytime.A rhyme to remember:weathering breaks it, erosion takes it, and deposition places it on the ground.

Waves cause erosion by?
Constantly brushing up against the shore and taking sediment with it when it goes back to the ocean.
