Why is a beach more likely to change rapidly if it is placed along a river mouth where there are many winter storms than if it is found along a quiet stretch where there are no rivers and few storms?
Rivers carry sediment, which when deposited at the beach, increases the land. Similarly, rivers can carry sediment away from a beach, also changing its shape. These two forces can work together to effectively move sediment from one area of the beach to another. Similarly, storms also move sediment.
What are the areas of sediment where a rivers mouth reaches flat land at the bottom of a mountain?
