That’s deposition. So, over a long period of time, sediment moves along the coastline in a zig-zag motion. So longshore drift has also helped to create the sand dunes by bringing all this sand ...

Wind can also cause material to be transported, for example by longshore drift, which is where sediment moves along ... processes such as erosion and deposition. Erosion happens when waves wear ...

Sedimentology explores the origin, transport, deposition and diagenetic alterations of the materials that compose sediments and sedimentary rocks. Stratigraphy investigates how those types of rocks ...
