    QUIZ - Coastal Processes

    Uploaded by

    Coastal processes are natural occurrences that contribute to changes in the coastal zone. Coastal processes result from interactions between marine, meteorological, physical, and industrial factors. Waves are produced when wind acts on the sea, causing water particles to rotate. Destructive waves cause the most coastal erosion due to strong swash and weak backwash. During high tides, areas near coasts may experience erosion, submersion, and saltwater intrusion. Repeated submersion can lead to erosion. Continuous erosion can form cliffs and cause some coastal points to submerge. Storm surges can cause saltwater intrusion into groundwater supplies. When a typhoon is expected to landfall, coastal areas should prepare for

    C. The swash is weak and the backwash is also weak.
    D. The swash is strong and the backwash is also strong.
    _____ 6. Which of the following effects would likely occur in areas near coasts during high tides?
    A. erosion B. submersion C. saltwater intrusion D. typhoons
