This is to do with tide patterns and percolation. A wave's swash (wave going up the beach) is very powerful and has enough power to carry large pebbles up the beach. However on a pebble beach, a lot of the waves energy is lost filling the gaps in the pebbles. All those small spaces mean the wave loses power and its backwash (wave going back down the beach) is much weaker than its swash. Only the smaller pebbles can be pulled back down the beach. This leaves the larger pebbles further up the beach.

Because of this, temperatures become cooler as you go higher above sea levelBecause of elevation temperatures become cooler as you go higher above sea level.
How does the height above sea level affects the temperature?
I learned the answer to this in science this year, so don't worry, it is accurate: The higher above sea level/elevation you are, the colder the temperature becomes. The reason for this is because there are air molecules in the air bump closer together when you are lower above sea level- that creates warm weather. The higher above sea level you go, (for example, the tops of mountains,) the more separated and spaced out the molecules become, which causes cold weather. This is the ACCURATE answer to how elevation affects temperature.
How is temperature and latitude related?
In this case, we'll have to talk about the equator.Temperature gets warmer the closer you go to equator. The equator is at 0 degrees latitude. We're not talking about degrees in temperature, we are talking about GPS degrees.Most of the time, the smaller the # of the latitude, the warmer it may get. Since the equator always gets sunlight all year round, the closer you get to it, the warmer it'll get.In the Northern Hemisphere, you have to go south to get to the equator.In the Southern Hemisphere, you have to go north the get to the equator.

The residue on the pebbles is not just salt. It contains very many elements that go into sea water. The pH will be effected (raised) if sufficient sea salt is added.
