A. Coastal Processes• where the energy of the ocean/lake meets the resistances of the land.• very dynamic system• constantly adjusting to changes in coastal configuration, sediment budgets,offshore gradients, climate, sea level, human impacts.• fast-changing morphology of depositional features (eg: beaches), slowerchanges on rock coasts
Movements generated by tides, currents, and wave motion.
