Answer:

Wave Erosion

Runoff, streams, and rivers carry sediment to the oceans. The sediment in ocean water acts like sandpaper. Over time, they erode the shore. The bigger the waves are and the more sediment they carry, the more erosion they cause.

Landforms From Wave Erosion

Erosion by waves can create unique landformsFigure below.

Wave-cut cliffs form when waves erode a rocky shoreline. They create a vertical wall of exposed rock layers.

Sea arches form when waves erode both sides of a cliff. They create a hole in the cliff.

Sea stacks form when waves erode the top of a sea arch. This leaves behind pillars of rock.

Over millions of years, wave erosion can create wave-cut cliffs (A), sea arches (B), or sea stacks (C).

Wave Deposition

Eventually, the sediment in ocean water is deposited. Deposition occurs where waves and other ocean motions slow. The smallest particles, such as silt and clay, are deposited away from shore. This is where water is calmer. Larger particles are deposited on the beach. This is where waves and other motions are strongest.

Beaches

In relatively quiet areas along a shore, waves may deposit sand. Sand forms a beach, like the one in Figure below. Many beaches include bits of rock and shell. You can see a close-up photo of beach deposits in Figure below.

Sand deposited along a shoreline creates a beach.

Beach deposits usually consist of small pieces of rock and shell in addition to sand.
