How does coastal erosion shape Florida?

Coastal erosion causes the sea level to rise.

Coastal erosion causes the beach to wear away.

Coastal erosion causes sand to move with longshore currents.

Coastal erosion causes the formation of sinkholes in the ground.

Option (B)

Explanation:

Due to the continuous hitting of the waves on the rocks of the coastal areas, weathering takes place and results in the disintegration of rocks. The rocks that are weaker will be removed at a faster rate in comparison to the resistant rocks. As a result of which, the shape of the coastline will be affected.

Florida is located near the Gulf of Mexico and is a very low elevated area. It is at a height near to the sea level. The waves continuously strikes at the coastal rocks of Florida, and over a definite period of time, the shape of this coastline changes and affects the landmass.

Thus, coastal erosion leads to the wearing away of beaches and Florida is an example of this.

The correct answer is option (B).

Coastal erosion causes the beach to wear aw
