Answer:

Deep ocean currents.

Explanation:

In cold regions, such as the North Atlantic Ocean, ocean water loses heat to the atmosphere and becomes cold and dense. When ocean water freezes, forming sea ice, salt is left behind causing surrounding seawater to become saltier and denser. Dense-cold-salty water sinks to the ocean bottom.

Studentka2010 [4]

Determine the general wave and longshore sediment transport directions by determiing where the sand is against where it is eroding, is heaping up.

from the top to the bottom

- The direction of beach drift

- Groyne

- The incoming wave direction

-The direction of the longshore current

<h3>What is longshore sediment transport?</h3>
  • The collective movement of beach and nearshore sand parallel to the shore caused by the combined action of tides, wind, and waves, as well as the shore-parallel currents produced by them, is referred to as longshore transport.
  • Usually, these forces cause sand to move practically continuously, either in bedload flows or suspension.
  • This happens in an intricate, three-dimensional pattern that changes quickly over time.
  • Sand in the area of interest may occasionally have an upcoast component whereas other sand is often migrating downcoast.
