What drift in longshore drift?
Beach sediment
What is spit formation?
A spit is formed due to the process of the long shore drift, the waves approach the beach in the direction of the prevailing winds, this causes the sediment to be pushed up the beach at an angle.
How was a beach created?
longshore drift
Is longshore drift the cause or effect of a longshore current?
Longshore drift is the process of sediment moving along a beach due to wave action. It is driven by the longshore current, which is a current that flows parallel to the shoreline. Therefore, longshore drift is the result or effect of a longshore current.
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.
Why would longshore drift be a worry to someone who owns an hotel with a beavh in front of it?
Longshore drift causes sand to move along a beach further down (or up) the coast. This in effect causes beach erosion. If a hotel has a beach in front of it, one can assume that visitors to the hotel may use that stretch of beach to sunbathe etc. If the beach gets eroded, the sand may be of a poorer quality or even inaccessible if there is a wall to climb over and down etc. This means the beach would have to be fed each year with sand from further down the coast or groynes put in place to trap the sand.
The movement of sand along the beach is called?
long-shore drift
What is the process in which beach sediments is moved down the beach with the current?
Longshore drift.
What is the process called in which beach sediments are moved down the beach with the current?
Longshore drift.
How does beach drift affect shorelines?
