What is tidal theory?
The theory of the origin of the solar system involving the near collision of a massive body with the sun. The original version of a tidal theory, due to Buffon (1785), considered passage of a comet, but modern versions of this theory invoke a passing star. The gaseous debris torn from the sun by tidal forces is supposed to have condensed into the planets; however, this theory has been replaced by the nebular theory.
How does sediment get deposited?
Sediment is eroded (mainly) rock carried down stream by a river. As the river flow slows heavier particles fall and settle on the river bed. Lighter particle are carried the furthest out into the sea, where they too settle on the sea floor. Storms, floods and shifting tidal currents can alter or change the amount of sediment the river carriers and the rate at which the sediment settles in the sea. The finest sediment is known as silt, and is the slippery mud that lines the tidal estuary creeks where the river flow is the least.
What is a erusion Coast?
Erosion of the coast is simply the weathering or the removal of land in the beach as a result of waves. This can also be caused by the wave currents, tidal currents and also drainage.
Narrow stretch of water between two areas of land?
A River or a Stream. I would say Tidal Bore
Where is Tidal Energy found on Earth?
There is a large tidal energy scheme at Rance in northern France. There are smaller ones in other parts of the world. Tidal mills were once fairly common in Britain. Tides are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon. These forces translate into high and low tides, on the earth. Tidal energy is transferred from the moon to the earth by tidal torque. This results in tidal lock. This is why you always see the same side of the moon
What is different about the sediment you find at a beach versus a tidal flat?

Tidal volume is the volume of air that moves in and goes out in asingle stroke, and is abut 500ml.
