What makes a beach/shoreline?
1. weathering- the breakdown of rock2. erosion- the movement of weathered rock3. deposition- the dropping off of weathered rock
How does the process start?What do we need to begin the process of
weathering, erosion, and deposition?Wave EnergyThe stronger a wave is, the more W, E, and D can
take place.
Putting it all together.Waves break down rocks along shorelines.The stronger the waves, the more weathering
occurs.Waves transport weathered rock particles to
different locations.Waves deposit the rock particles along shorelines,
forming beaches.
Coastal ErosionWhat are the 4 ways that the sea erodes the
coast – the different types of erosion?
Don’t forget, weathering is also
at work on the coastline as well
Besides beaches, what other features can waves create?
