These factors place pressure upon the infrastructure and coastal environment‚ which can make large dune areas and beaches more exposed to erosion. Are humans impacting water quality at Cronulla?

is veritably "moved" from one stretch of beach to another. On rocky coasts‚ coastal erosion results in dramatic rock formations in areas where the coastline contains rock layers or fracture zones with different resistances to erosion. Softer rocky areas become eroded much faster than harder ones‚ and erosion on rocky coasts can literally take centuries of battering waves to make a noticeable impression. On sedimentary coasts‚ however‚ like the beaches of North Carolina‚ coastal erosion typically

movement of sand. This changes drastically‚ when development puts up manmade barriers to protect homes and property‚ which changes the dynamic and distribution of the sand causing major erosion in different areas along the shoreline. Along the pacific coast‚ shoreline erosion is contributed to a narrowing of many beaches‚ due to the alteration of natural systems by people. The bulk of the sand on many of these beaches is supplied by rivers that transport it from the mountain regions. This process has

Coastal Processes Coasts are shaped by the sea and the action of waves. Waves act in different ways‚ through the processes of erosion‚ transportation and deposition. Coasts: A coast is found where the land meets the sea. Coasts undergo change due to coastal processes and (as with rivers) there are main processes at work: Erosion Transportation Deposition Each of these processes involves the power of the sea and the effect of waves that are carried to shore.
