Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Longshore currents move sand parallel to the shoreline, while surf and breakers may temporarily move sand up onto the beach but usually do not transport it any significant distance. The Army Corps of Engineers may be involved in beach replenishment projects, but they do not naturally move sand. Longitudinal currents move water and do not affect the movement of sand.
