Question 10

Explain the process of longshore drift in transporting sediment along a coastline.

A diagram showing a coastline with a sandy beach at the top and the sea at the bottom. An arrow indicating the 'Prevailing Wind' points diagonally up and to the right toward the shoreline. Zig-zag arrows on the beach demonstrate sediment movement: 'Swash' travels up the beach at an angle, while 'Backwash' travels straight down toward the sea at a 90-degree angle. An overarching arrow indicates the 'Net direction of sediment movement' from left to right along the coast.
