How do waves change shorelines?
Waves, especially during severe storms, erode shorelines by washing away sand, rocks and soil.
What Eustatic sea level change affects shorelines?
Warming (and thus expanding) water from the warming atmosphere, as well as water melting from glaciers and ice caps is causing the eustatic (world-wide) sea level change that is threatening the shorelines.
How hurricanes affect shorelines?
they erode shorelines away and put debris in the ocean
Shorelines change rapidly Erosion and deposition are two processes with opposite effects that shape shoreline features Which of the following shoreline processes is an example of deposition?
accumulation of mud in bays
What are different types of shorelines and their characteristics?
There are many different types of shorelines. Some examples are fine-grained sand beaches, riprap structures or sheltered man-made structures. Fine-grained sand beaches are beaches with fine sand, riprap structures are rocky shorelines and man-made structures are structures like docks, built by men.
How do shorelines change over time?
suck it
How do ocean shorelines change over time?

What are facts about shorelines?
Shorelines are along the shore
When waves crash against rocks on coasts or shorelines?
on shorelines
How hurricanes affect shorelines?

How do waves change?
Waves, especially during severe storms, erode shorelines by washing away sand, rocks and soil.
How are shorelines formed?
Shorelines are formed through a combination of erosional and depositional processes. Erosion from water and wind wears away the land, while sediment carried by rivers and currents can be deposited along the coast, gradually building up shorelines. Tectonic activity, sea level changes, and weather patterns also play a role in shaping shorelines over time.
What is the general location for shorelines?
loop
Where are beaches most common?
flat shorelines.
