What is the difference between a tidal flat sediment and a beach sediment?

What is an area of wave - washed sediment along a coast?
beach.
The zigzag movement of sand grains along a beach is?
Beach Drift
Sandy beaches are formed by?
waves carrying sediment wash along a coast, slow down and deposit sand to form a beach.
What effect does a long shore current have?
it carries sand / sediment along the beach to another point often causing a spit or bar.
How are beach erosion made?
beach erosion is caused by the movement of ocean currents along the shoreline, and by wave action. As an ocean current moves parallel to the shore, it will carry away sediment. Wave action also does this, kind of similarly to currents.
What drifts in longshore drif?

What is the job of a groyne at the beach?
A groyne is a structure which is built at least partially underwater to inhibit water flow and control the movement of sediment. The purpose of a groin at the beach is either to create more beach or to prevent the erosion of an existing beach.
What is an area wave-washed sediment along a coast?
beach.
Area of wave-washed sediment along a coast?
A beach
What is an area of wave - washed sediment along a coast?
beach.
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 transports most of the sediment in beach?
Longshore Currents transport most sediment along the shore of beaches, according to my science book. .
