Thank you Wolf %100 right
To determine which effects shifting shorelines have on beaches, we can analyze each option and explain how to arrive at the correct answer:
A. They cause narrower beach areas.
Shifting shorelines can result in the loss of sand and sediment from a beach area. If the shore is eroding or experiencing sediment transport away from the beach, it is likely that the beach area will become narrower.
B. They cause an increase in beach currents.
Beach currents are primarily influenced by factors such as tides, waves, and offshore and onshore winds. While shifting shorelines can potentially impact the direction and intensity of beach currents, there is no direct correlation between shifting shorelines and an increase in beach currents. Therefore, this option is less likely to be correct.
C. They cause wider beach areas.
If a beach is undergoing accretion or sediment accumulation due to shifting shorelines, it is possible that the beach area could become wider.
D. They cause an increase in sand on beaches.
This option is highly plausible. Shifting shorelines can result in the deposition of sediment and sand, leading to an increase in sand on the beaches.
By examining the explanations for each option, it becomes evident that the correct answer is:
D. They cause an increase in sand on beaches.
