What else can I help you with?
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 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.

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 kinds of landforms do longshore drift and longshore currents produce?

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.
How was a beach created?
longshore drift
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.
Can longshore drift be stopped?
Longshore drift is a natural process that cannot be completely stopped. However, coastal engineering techniques such as groynes, breakwaters, and seawalls can help mitigate its effects by trapping sediment and preventing erosion of shorelines. These methods can influence but not stop longshore drift entirely.
