Erosion of Shorelines

Erosion of coastlines Erosion of coastlines is a natural process that may be beneficial or harmful to habitat creation and maintenance. Sand and gravel eroded from the coastal shores make the beach a natural barrier between outer water and coastal wetlands. When the state of the wave changes, the beach goes back and forth between land, sea and coast. Fine granular sludge and clay due to coastal erosion are classified and carried to wetlands and tidal flats. There is the advantage that new materials are added.

The influence of waves and migration of deposits along the coastline promoted erosion of the coastline. When we have a cliff coastline, erosion is the strongest, and erosion is the weakest when we have a smooth coastline and beach. On gentle slopes, energy is gradually consumed as waves approach, and in the case of cliffs there is the possibility that the waves will hit the cliffs with full power. The erosion of the waves undercut the cliff and the cliffs retreated. During wave attack, chemical degradation (salt crystallization pressure, dissolution of soluble components - cement) of water and air and crushed rocks pushed into the crack under pressure will also weaken the cliff rocks. This process brings a wave cut platform. The fragments that fell from the cliff during the retreat are destroyed by the waves and removed by the action of the waves and the coastal drifts (waves as horizontal saws).

Erosion is the process of moving soil from one place to another by wind, water, or other natural action. Natural process, or always? Unfortunately, coastline erosion is often accelerated by human activity. In my first FWA syllabus I decided to focus on how agriculture can promote this erosion process. My first statement said, "Cows need to be trapped outside the reservoir, cattle destroy coastlines, causing soil erosion, which in turn affects the population of fish." Natural reservoir humans cause soil erosion problems by destroying coastline vegetation, which in turn will affect fish resources.
