Question #167933

Explain the factors that will affect the rate of deposition of sediment along a coastline


Expert's answer

The factors that will affect the rate of deposition of sediment along a coastline are the intensity of waves and winds (low intensity means faster deposition), depth (shallow waters are responsible for faster deposition), and the geometrical properties of the coastline (since they directly affect the intensity of winds and waves).
