What is the process where beach material is gradually shifted laterally as a result of the waves meeting the shore?

The process is called longshore drift. It occurs when waves approach the shore at an angle, carrying sediment along the shoreline parallel to the coast. This movement can shape the coastlines by depositing and eroding sediment in different areas.


What are the directions of local winds along a shoreline?

During the day, onshore winds blow from the water towards the shore due to the temperature difference between the land and water. At night, offshore winds blow from the land out towards the water as the land cools more rapidly than the water.

How do long shore currents more sand?

Longshore currents move sand along the coast by carrying it parallel to the shoreline. As waves approach the shore at an angle, they generate a current that moves sediments in a zigzag pattern. This process helps to redistribute sand along the coastline.


What is the movement of water and sediment down a Beach caused by waves coming in to shore at an angle?

Longshore drift is the movement of water and sediment along a beach caused by waves approaching the shore at an angle. This process causes sediment to be transported parallel to the shoreline, leading to the creation of sandbars and beaches.

Can you say Ginger got out of the boat and waded it toward shore?

You can say, " Ginger got out of the boat and waded toward shore." By including the 'it,' you are necessarily saying that Ginger waded the boat to shore. That form is ungainly in English, because boats are not normally 'waded' to shore. They are otherwise pushed or pulled to shore. People wade. Boats are pushed and pulled. Also, the example sentence changes 'wade' from an intransitive verb to a transitive verb… which it is not.
