Create a comparison of the effects on Coastline Formations and Arid Landscapes. Response in at

Address for both:
Coastline Formations
Arid Landscapes
What are the surficial
processes that affect this
landscape?
The surfical processe acting on the
formation of coastlines include
erosion, deposition, and
transportation. Destructive waves
are responble for the wearing of
the coastal landmass. The erosion
takes place by abrasion, corrosion,
and attrition. When these materials
have been destroyed, the
constructive waves can deposit
them along the coast forming
features like beaches, tombolos,
and spits. Sand is highly
transported by the longshore drift.
Water carry away suspended
materials from the beach affecting
its shape.
This regions have little or no
vegetation cover making
erosion to be the dominant
process. There is mass
wasting, and rock falls. The
