What is the relationship between longshore currents and sandbars?
longshore currents for example ,often deposit sand along shorelines,the sand builds up to form sandbars
What are currents within the surf zone that flow parallel to the shore?
Longshore currents
Is longshore drift the cause or effect of a longshore current. Explain?
effect. longshore drift is the combined effect of sediments moved by longshore currents and and beach drift. longshore currents are ocean currents that flow parallel to the coast while beach drift is the resultant zigzag movement along the beach.
What kinds of landforms do longshore drift and longshore currents produce?
what is a current

Why don't longshore currents form in places were waves hit the shore head -on?
Longshore currents are driven by the angle at which waves approach the shore. When waves hit the shore head-on, rather than at an angle, there is no net transport of water along the shoreline to generate a longshore current. The wave energy is dissipated directly onto the shore, preventing the development of a longshore current.
What transports most of the sediment in the beach environment?
Longshore Currents transport most sediment along the shore of beaches, according to my science book. .
Is longshore drift the cause or the effect of a longshore current explain?
effect. longshore drift is the combined effect of sediments moved by longshore currents and and beach drift. longshore currents are ocean currents that flow parallel to the coast while beach drift is the resultant zigzag movement along the beach.
Is longshore drift the cause or the effect of a longshore?
Longshore drift is the effect of longshore current because the water moves a certain way and causes the sand to take shape.
Where do longshore currents transport sediment?

What are currents within the surf zone that flow parallel to the shore called?
These currents are called LongShore or Feeder Currents.
