  2. BeachCevap
  3. C
    Scree slope
  4. D

Cevap

Beach
Beaches are temporary or permanent accumulations of sediment (sand, gravel, or pebbles) deposited along the coast by constructive waves where wave energy is low.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary agent of coastal deposition
Constructive waves build up landforms by depositing sediments like sand and pebbles along the shoreline.
Coastal landforms are classified into erosional features (like sea cliffs, arches, stacks) and depositional features (like beaches, spits, bars).
2
Evaluate the landform options against coastal deposition
Beaches consist of accumulated sand and shingle deposited by swash-dominated wave action.
Distinguish coastal marine landforms from river landforms, slope weathering features, and rock metamorphic structures.
