Procesos costeros

The video tutorial explains the three essential processes that shape coastlines: erosion, transport, and deposition. Erosion involves the wearing away of surfaces by destructive waves, which can occur through abrasion, trition, and dissolution. Transport refers to the movement of materials along the coast, often in a zigzag pattern due to coastal drift. This process can happen through solution, suspension, exaltation, and attraction. Deposition occurs when the sea loses energy, causing materials to settle. These processes contribute to the dynamic nature of coastlines.

Which of the following is NOT a method of erosion described in the video?

• Trition

• Abrasion

• Dissolution

• Exaltation

What causes the zigzag movement of materials along the coast?

• Wind pushing waves at an angle

• Seawater temperature changes

• Tidal forces

• Direct wave impact

Which method of sediment transport involves soluble salts?

• Suspension

• Attraction

• Solution

• Exaltation

What happens when the sea loses energy?

• It transports more sediment

• It erodes more material

• It increases wave height

• It deposits the carried particles

Which type of waves are associated with deposition?

• Destructive waves

• Constructive waves

• Tidal waves

• Seismic waves
