Longshore drift from longshore current is a geological process that consists of the transportation of sediments (clay, silt, pebbles, sand, shingle, shells) along a coast parallel to the shoreline, …

Longshore (littoral) drift is the movement of material along the shore by wave action. It happens when waves approach the beach at an angle. The swash (waves moving up the beach) carries …

Longshore drift is the process by which sediment (such as sand and small rocks) is transported along a beach or coastline by the movement of water. As waves approach the shore at an …

2021年2月15日 · Longshore drift is the movement of sediments along a coast by waves that approach at an angle to the shore but then the swash recedes directly away from it. The water …

When incoming waves strike a shoreline beach drift can cause the movement of sediment along the shoreline. Beach drift begins when the waves reach the shore at an angle (not parallel) …

As this sheet of water moves on and off the beach, it can “capture” and transport beach sediment back out to sea. This process, known as “longshore drift,” can cause significant beach erosion.

2017年10月3日 · Longshore drift is a geological process responsible for transporting sediments such as shingle, silt, clay, and sand along a coast that is aligned to the shoreline, relying on …

Longshore drift has a very powerful influence on the shape and composition of the coastline. It changes the slopes of beaches and creates long, narrow shoals of land called spits, that …

2024年6月10日 · The combined effects of sediment transport within the surf zone by the longshore current and sediment movement along the beach by swash and backwash is known …

2018年6月11日 · Longshore drift is the transport of sand along a beach by waves impinging or breaking at an angle to the beach. Longshore drift occurs when a wave breaks, lifts sand into …
