Question

What did the visitor on the sandy beach observe?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Have you ever wondered where the large amount of sand on the beaches come from? When the rain begins, large amounts of sand from hills, mountains, fields, plains etc are washed away and carried to rivers. The rivers in turn carry these huge amounts of silt and sand to the sea. When the sand reaches the sea, waves and currents in the sea carry the sand along the beach and gradually, deposit them on to the beaches. Every year, waves take away a large amount of sand from the beach and also deposit a large amount on the beaches. Beaches may take years or centuries to form. One large storm is capable of removing a lot of sand from the beach, eroding it. But the sand quickly gets deposited back and if left undisturbed, the beaches come back to their earlier state in a few years time.
