What else can I help you with?
How could the type of shoreline affect the types of sediment you find there?
Rocky shorelines have rocks and cliffs, so when the waves crash against the rock fragments and sediments are formed along the shoreline.

What are sandy beaches formed by?
They are formed by waves that crash onto shorelines. They carry smalls rocks and stones that have been broken down by the process of "erosion"
What happens when ocean or river waves crash against rocks?
a flood
What do you think happens s when waves hit rocks along the coastline?
They get wet. They also slowly wear down or erode.
How do waves shape the shorelines?
Waves shape shorelines through erosion, transportation, and deposition of sediments. As waves crash onto the shore, they can wear away rocks and sediment, moving material along the coast. The size, frequency, and direction of waves all contribute to shaping the coastline over time.
How do tides and waves interact with shorelines?
Tides and waves interact with shorelines by shaping the coastal landscape through erosion and deposition. Tides, driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, cause periodic rises and falls in sea level, influencing the movement of sediment along the shore. Waves, generated by wind, crash against the coastline, eroding rocks and transporting sand and debris. Together, these forces create dynamic environments that continually reshape beaches, cliffs, and coastal ecosystems.
Did men make sand?
No. Sand is made when waves crash against rocks over a very long period of time.
Describe weathering due to abrasion?
Water can wear down rocks on riverbeds and along shorelines.
How are coasts changing?
coasts are changing because the waves are eating into the rocks an forming cliffs and the sea creates new land with sandy beaches therefore coasts are changing due to weathering and erosion.
How is a sandy beach formed?
Sandy beaches are made by waves. More specifically, the waves carry rocks and sediment onto the shorelines by crashing into them.
Where are limpets commonly found?
Limpets are commonly found along rocky shorelines sucking onto the sides or bottoms of the rocks.
