Coastal Landforms

The video explores how erosion and deposition shape the northwest coast of America. Erosion carves out cliffs, wave cut notches, and platforms, while forming arches and stacks. Deposition builds beaches and spits, influenced by wave energy and local geology. Longshore drift, driven by wind, shapes spits and creates sheltered areas. These processes continuously transform coastlines, creating dynamic landscapes.

How do constructive waves contribute to the formation of beaches?

Explain how longshore drift occurs and its impact on coastal features.
