What is the direction of longshore drift in Swanage bay?
South to North
What is a movement of sediments along a beach shore called?
longshore drift
What are some ways that waves shape the shoreline?
longshore drift Tsunamis
How do groynes stop continental drift?
They don't. Groynes inhibit longshore drift. Longshore drift occurs when currents develop parallel to a shoreline as a result of wave action, carrying sediment with them. Groynes catch sediment and interfere with these currents. Continental drift, a part of plate tectonics, is a completely unrelated process.
What are coastal features formed as a result of longshore drift?
Beaches, Sand bars and Spits.
What is the direction of longshore drift in Swanage bay?
South to North
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
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.

Spits are formed when longshore drift travels past a point where the dominant drift direction and shoreline do not veer in the same direction.
Is longshore drift the cause or the 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.

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.
What drift in longshore drift?
Beach sediment
How is a barrier spit formed?
Formation of a Barrier SpitBarrier Spits are formed by the process of Longshore Drift. What is Longshore Drift?Longshore drift, sometimes known as drifting, longshore current, LSD (not common as it typically refers to a drug) or littoral drift is the movement of sediments, most often sand, along a coast parallel to its shoreline.
What is the difference between longshore drift and longshore current?
Current is with water and drift is moving sediments in the current
What features can you expect to form when longshore drift is acting along a coastline and the angle of the coast changes direction?
A spit.
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.
