Longshore drift can cause the erosion and deposition of sediments along Coastlines, leading to the formation of features such as sandbars, spits, and barriers. This process can alter coastal landscapes, impact local ecosystems, and affect human activities like navigation and beach recreation. Additionally, it can contribute to the narrowing of beaches and the loss of coastal land over time.

What is the process by which beach sediment moves down the beach with the current?
the process in which beach sediment move down a beach with the 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.

Longshore current and longshore drift?
Longshore current is the movement of water nearest the coast. Usually caused by tides. Longshore drift is the movement of beach or coastal material, by longshore drift. The action of waves loosen the material, which is then moved by the current and deposited further down tide. The action is greater during storms.
What drift in longshore drift?
Beach sediment
What is the difference between longshore drift and longshore current?
Current is with water and drift is moving sediments in the current
Why is a longshore drift a problem at Dawlish Warren?
Longshore drift moves sediment along the beach which lengthens the sand spit. Groynes have been put in place to try and reduce the effects of longshore drift.

What is the zig zag movement of sand along the shoreline?
Longshore drift is the process that moves sand and other sediments along a shoreline. It is also referred to as longshore transport or littoral drift.
How was a beach created?
