-- You and your partner both get the same job to do:

Each of you gets a pallet of bricks, and you have to
put the bricks up on the bed of a truck, by hand.
Both pallets have the same number of bricks.

The pallet is way too heavy to lift, so you both cut the bands
that hold the bricks, and you lift the bricks from the pallet onto
the truck, by hand, two or three or four bricks at a time.

-- You get your pallet of bricks onto the truck in 45 minutes.

-- Your partner gets his pallet of bricks onto the truck in 3 days.

-- Work = (force) times (distance).

    You and your partner both lifted the same amount of weight
     up to the same height.  You both did the same amount of work.

-- Power = (work done) divided by (time it takes to do the work) .

  
Your partner took roughly 96 times as long as you took
   to do the same amount of work. 
   You did it faster.  He did it slower.
   You produced more power.  He produced less power.

Scorpion4ik [409]

"Erosion will increase, carrying more sand away than before" will most likely result.

Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Erosion occurs when the sea area is consumed. There are five main mechanisms that cause coastal erosion. There is corrasion, hydraulic performance, abrasion, oxidation and solution/ corrosion.

Corrasion occurs when the waves remove dirt from the floor (like pebbles) and rotate it at the bottom of the rock. The shoreline is usually longer. Softer areas are covered with sediment from hard areas and rocks are removed.
