How do waves eventually even out the shorline?

Waves even out the shoreline through a process called longshore drift, where waves move sand and sediment along the coast in a zigzag pattern. This movement helps to redistribute sand from areas of erosion to areas of deposition, leading to a more uniform shoreline over time. Erosional forces such as wave action and wind also play a role in shaping and smoothing out the coastline.

What are types of erosions?

Types of erosions include sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion, and streambank erosion. Sheet erosion occurs when a thin layer of soil is removed by rainfall or runoff, while rill erosion creates small channels in the soil. Gully erosion forms larger, deeper channels, and streambank erosion refers to the wearing away of soil along river or stream banks.
