coastal erosion is the wearing away of land or the removal beach or dune sediments by wave action, tidal currents , wave currents, or drainaige. On rocky coasts, coastal erosiom can results in an horrific / dramatic rock formations in areas where the coastline contains rock layer or frature plales with varieng resistance to erosion.

What is the the definition of a coast?
A coast is the land near a body of water, such as an ocean or sea, where it meets the land. It is characterized by beaches, cliffs, or other features formed by the action of waves and currents.
Was the coast range partly caused by folding?
Yes, the Coast Range was partly formed by folding caused by tectonic plate movements. The collision between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate created intense pressure and folding of the Earth's crust, resulting in the uplift of the Coast Range.
Sandy beaches are formed by?
Sandy beaches are formed by the accumulation of sand particles eroded from rocks and minerals on land. These particles are carried to the coast by rivers, wind, and ocean currents, where they are deposited and shaped by waves and tides to create the characteristic sandy shoreline.
Is the Oregon coast a rift valley?
No, the Oregon coast is not a rift valley. A rift valley forms where tectonic plates move apart, creating a depression where new crust is formed. The Oregon coast is a result of convergent tectonic plate boundaries where the Juan de Fuca plate is being subducted beneath the North American plate.
Where did hurricane Ike form?
Hurricane Ike began on the coast of Africa. When it started it was only at the strength of a trpoical storm, then it grew into a hurricane. It lost power a little bit by the time it was in the mid Atlantic but it was yet still a hurricane form. By the time it was at the coast of Florida it was a powerful hurricane. It ended in Houston.

How were the boundaries formed in Costa Rica?
Coast Rica has a natural boundary of water.
How does a longitudinal coast formed?
A longitudinal coast is formed when the coastline runs parallel to the direction of prevailing winds and ocean currents, resulting in the erosion and deposition of sediment in a linear pattern. Sediment is transported along the coast, creating features such as barrier islands, spits, and sand dunes aligned parallel to the shore.
