How does weather/climate contribute to coastal erosion.
Will give brainly. :)
Answer:
Climate change threatens coastal areas, which are already stressed by human activity, pollution, invasive species, and storms. Sea level rise could erode and inundate coastal ecosystems and eliminate wetlands. Warmer and more acidic oceans are likely to disrupt coastal and marine ecosystems
Explanation:
Answer:
Processes called erosion, mass movement and weahering break down and remove material from the coast. The material is moved along the coastline by the sea and deposited when there is energy loss.
Erosion is the wearing away of rock along the coastline. Deestructive waves are respnsible for erosion on the coastline, coastal material can be moved in 4 ways;
Solution - when mnerals in rocks like chalk and limestone are dissolved in sea water and then carried in solution. The load is not visible.
Suspension - small particles such as slts and clays are suspended in the flow of the water.
Saltation – where small pieces of shngle or large sannd grains are bounced along the sea bed.
Traction – where pebbles and larger material are rolled along the sea bed.
Sediment is carried by the waves along the coastline. The movement of the material is known as longshore drift. Waves approach the coast at an angle because of the direction of prevailing wind. The swash will carry the materral towards the beach at an angle. The backwash then flows back to the sea, down the slope of the beach. The process repeats itself along the coast in the zigag movement. This causes the landscape of the coast to change.
Hope this helps :)
