Longshore Current..
Beach Drift
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.
it carries sand / sediment along the beach to another point often causing a spit or bar.
the waves
Angled waves create a current that runs parallel to the coatline. As waves repeatedly hit the beach, some of the beach sediment moves down the beach with the current.

it is the water currents dragging in seaweed plants and other things.
"He walked along the beach."
it carries sand / sediment along the beach to another point often causing a spit or bar.
The prepositional phrase is "as you walked along the beach".
A bar develops by the process of Longshore drift,which occurs due to waves meeting at the beach at an angle and backwashing perpendicular to the shore, moving sediment down the beach on a zigzag pattern. A spit is a deposition landform found off coasts. At one end, spits connect to land and extend into the sea.
How sand and other materials are carried parallel to the shore by the waves. The waves approach the beach at an angle.Longshore drift is the movement of sediment along the coastline.Longshore drift is the transport of erosion sands along a shoreline by the current flowing along it.
