Sand for beaches comes from rocks in the area that are weathered down, and

their sediment is deposited in the area beaches. The beaches are then eroded,
and the sediment is moved away from the beaches. If rocks stopped weathering,
how would the beach change?

Answer:

Beaches would shrink until they were no longer there because the sediment is pulled away from the shores by the tide and there would be no new rock sediment to replace the old rock sediment.
