Over a long time, erosion of headlands and deposition in bays will straighten out an irregular shoreline.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true as erosion and deposition are natural processes that cause the shoreline to gradually change over time. As waves and currents erode headlands (promontories of land that extend into the water) and transport sediment to bays (indentations in the coastline), the shoreline can become more straight and uniform. However, this process can take many years or even centuries to occur.
