Eroded material is carried along coastlines from high wave-energy areas to:
A)active offshore bars.
B)low wave-energy areas.
C)the backshore.
D)the foreshore.
E)the nearshore zone.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eroded material is typically carried from high wave-energy areas to low wave-energy areas along the coastline. This is because high wave-energy areas have stronger currents and more energy to pull sediment away, while low wave-energy areas tend to have weaker currents that allow sediment to settle out of the water and accumulate on the beach. The other answer choices do not necessarily describe where eroded material is carried along the coastline.
