How does coastal erosion shape Florida?

Answer
A
Coastal erosion causes the sea level to rise.
B
Coastal erosion causes the beach to wear away.
C
Coastal erosion causes sand to move with longshore currents.
D
Coastal erosion causes the formation of sinkholes in the ground.

Explanation

Coastal erosion is the wearing away and removal of land along the shore by waves, currents, and other forces. In Florida, this can cause beaches to become narrower or disappear; moving sand with longshore currents is a related process, but it is not the meaning of coastal erosion itself.
