Which process occurs when ocean waves drop seashells on a beach?

Why does the formation of a beach depend upon constructive waves?
Constructive waves deposit sediment carried by the waves onto the shore, gradually building up the beach. As the waves break, they lose energy, which causes them to drop sand and other materials they were carrying. Over time, this accumulation of sediment creates the characteristic sandy beach found in coastal areas.
