Shorelines Case

Shorelines are changing constantly. One good storm can change the outline of a coast easily by shifting the beach sands up or down the coast or out to sea. Often shifts in sand just off shore force changes in the current provoking new areas of erosion and deposition. Lots of money is spent trying to prevent this or undo it. Where the coast is relatively flat with deep sandy beaches the outlines of the coast can change quickly. On the geologic time scale the rising and lower of sea levels provokes of just a few feet makes huge differences in the coastal outlines. There is more and more evidence that sea levels can change much more quickly than previously thought. Erosional coasts are new coasts in which the dominant processes are those that remove coastal material. Depositional coasts are usually older coasts that are steady or growing because of their rate of sediment accumulation. Some common features include sea cliffs, sea caves, and wave-cut platforms just offshore. Much of the debris removed from cliffs during the formation of these structures is deposited in the quieter water farther offshore, but some can rest at the bottom of the cliffs as exposed beaches. That's why you cant be a cheater and do your homework you should just take the time to do your own work and this wouldn't happen to you.
