Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The three principle marine processes that influence coasts are erosion, transportation and deposition. Erosion refers to the breaking down of the land by the force of waves. Transportation is the work of waves and tides in transferring this broken material somewhere else and deposition refers to the process by which waves and tides lose energy, cease to transport and release eroded material. Each coastline has its own balance and equilibrium of erosion, transportation and deposition, which is heavily influenced by a vast numbers of interactions referred to in brief above. As reult we can coin the phrase coastline of erosion or coastline of deposition.
