Question

Name 3 things that affect longshore currents

Answer 1

Answer:

1=beach

2=sea

3=longshore current direction

4=incoming waves

5=swash

Explanation:  Longshore currents are affected by the velocity and angle of a wave. When a wave breaks at a more acute (steep) angle on a beach, encounters a steeper beach slope, or is very high, longshore currents increase in velocity. Conversely, a wider breaking angle, gentler beach slope, and lower wave height slows a longshore current’s
