Question 2 • RMA FL-2001310-Earth/Space Science Semester 2

Which is one way that waves erode coastlines?

Answer
A
Back-and-forth movement loosens sediment and rock.
B
Large rocks are picked up and deposited in new areas.
C
Continuous impacts build up sediment and rock.
D
Loose sediment is picked up and blown to other locations.

Explanation

Waves move back and forth against the shore, loosening and wearing away sediment and rock. This makes “Back-and-forth movement loosens sediment and rock” the correct choice; picking up and depositing rocks describes transport, while blowing sediment is caused by wind.
