Cause: Erosion of land next to the ocean.

a)

Effect: Waves erode the shoreline and carry grains of sand away. People can use sandbags to stop erosion along the coast.

b)

Effect: Rain can wash away the topsoil, which is the soil with the most nutrients for plants. Farmers can slow erosion by planting trees around their fields. Their roots will help keep the soil in place.

c)

There is no effect of erosion on land next to the ocean.
