Shore drift consists of the transport of sediments (generally sand but may also consist of coarser sediments such as gravels) along a coast at an angle to the shoreline, which is dependent on prevailing wind direction, swash and backwash [1] This process occurs in the littoral zone, and in or within close proximity to the surf zone. The process is also known as shore transport
What else can I help you with?
Is longshore drift the cause or effect of a longshore current?
Longshore drift is the process of sediment moving along a beach due to wave action. It is driven by the longshore current, which is a current that flows parallel to the shoreline. Therefore, longshore drift is the result or effect of a longshore current.
The movement of sand along the beach is called?
long-shore drift
What kinds of landforms do long shore drift and long shore currents produce?
Spits are formed when longshore drift travels past a point where the dominant drift direction and shoreline do not veer in the same direction.
The movement of sand parallel to the shore?
longshore drift
What moves sand along the shore?
longshore drift
What is a movement of sediments along a beach shore called?
longshore drift
What kinds of landforms do long shore drifts and long shore currents produce?
Spits are formed when longshore drift travels past a point where the dominant drift direction and shoreline do not veer in the same direction.
How was studland bay formed?

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 actors and actresses appeared in Drift Me - 2009?
The cast of Drift Me - 2009 includes: Brandon Arnold as The Drifter Kody Riekena as Deputy Ren Shore as Sheriff
What kind of landforms do long shore drift and long shore currents produce?
Longshore drift and longshore currents can produce landforms such as spits, tombolos, barrier islands, and sand dunes. These landforms are typically found along coasts with significant wave action and sediment movement.
