La línea de costa

The video explains how erosion and deposition shape coastlines. Erosion, driven by sea and weather, forms cliffs, arches, and promontories by weakening rock structures. Deposition by constructive waves creates beaches, with their characteristics influenced by wave energy and local geology. Coastal drift, caused by wind and waves, leads to the formation of tongues and tidal flats. These processes continuously alter the dynamic landscapes of coastlines.

Describe how an arch is formed through erosion.

What factors determine whether a beach is soft and sandy or hard and pebbly?

Explain the role of wind in coastal drift.
