Answer 1

Answer:

All these impact the coastal lands

Explanation:

• The formation of the beach generally being by the erosion of the continental materials like the sand, cobbles and the gravel and that is washed towards the shores.
• And these get deposited at the shores by a longshore current and thus s described as the process of the coastal erosion. By erosion of the agent like the tods, waves and the wind-driven current.

• The offshore erosion process is a result of the actions the water currents and is temporal erosion process and is caused by the cycle of the sedimentation and associated with the removal of these particles by the backwashing waves. Thereby cutting off the sand that was deposited and increase in the depth of the shorelines.

• There are various associated causes of sand removal by man-made or anthropogenic impacts like the example of climate change taking place. Loss of sands due to the mining process and building of ports.
