When waves hit the shore, they contribute to weathering, erosion and deposition. Which would be an effect of constructive waves? (Think deposition)

Question

A:Build beaches

B:Build large sandcastles

C:Build large waves

D:Build long distance waves

I choose D

Answer 1

This is incorrect. The correct answer is A: Build beaches. Constructive waves have a stronger swash than backwash, which means that they deposit more sediment than they erode. This leads to the buildup of beaches and the formation of features such as sandbars and spits.
