Explain the processes of deposition and erosion in sea waves.
Wave Deposition. Rivers carry sediments from the land to the sea. If wave action is high, a delta will not form. Waves will spread the sediments along the coastline to create a beach (Figure below). Waves also erode sediments from cliffs and shorelines and transport them onto beaches.

Answer:
Erosion
Erosion is the geological process in which
earthen materials are wNorn away and
transported by natural forces such as wind or
water.
Deposition by sea waves
Rivers carry sediments from the land to the sea.
Waves continually move sand along the shore.
Waves also move sand from the beaches on
shore to bars of sand offshore as the seasons
change. In the summer, waves have lower
energy so they bring sand up onto the beach.
