Do jetties cause beach erosion?

Yes and no.

It will cause deposition on one side of the jetty and erosion on the other.

Deposition:

A jetty on a beach interrupts the long-shore drift.

Long-shore drift occurs when the current meets the beach at an angle.

The swash moves along the beach at an angle and carries sediment with it.

it deposits some and washes some back with it.

The backwash always returns at 90 degrees, so it carries material along the beach in this way: washing it up at an angle, straight back down, then up the beach again at an angle. This can reduce erosion, as it deposits some with each wave.

This material will eventually end up all deposited on the beach when it reaches the jetty as it will trap the sediment.

Erosion:

On the other side of the jetty however, refraction of the waves caused by the jetty will direct them more sharply in towards the beach, so they are at less of an angle, giving a higher force when they hit the beach. These will carry hardly any sediment so very little is deposited. All the waves' energy will then be used for erosion, instead of transportation, which will be greater because of the reduced angle.

most beaches have waves coming at an angle, even if it is small. its pretty impossible to get a wave coming at exactly 90 degrees, so long-shore drift should occur on most straight beaches

What typically causes black sand on beaches in Michigan?

Black sand on beaches in Michigan is typically caused by the erosion of nearby dark-colored rocks, such as basalt or magnetite. The dark minerals in the rocks break down over time and are deposited on the beach, creating the black sand. Additionally, volcanic activity or the presence of heavy minerals in the area can also contribute to the formation of black sand beaches.
