If the beach above is preserved by depositing sand over a wider area into the water, which of the following will most likely result? A. Erosion will increase, carrying more sand away than before. B. Wind patterns will reverse, causing the beach to grow larger. C. Deposition will increase, causing the beach to grow larger. D. Weathering will increase, breaking the sand grains into smaller particles.

"Erosion will increase, carrying more sand away than before" will most likely result.

Option A

Explanation:

Erosion occurs when the sea area is consumed. There are five main mechanisms that cause coastal erosion. There is corrasion, hydraulic performance, abrasion, oxidation and solution/ corrosion.

Corrasion occurs when the waves remove dirt from the floor (like pebbles) and rotate it at the bottom of the rock. The shoreline is usually longer. Softer areas are covered with sediment from hard areas and rocks are removed.

the journeys of marquette, joliet and la salle a) new france expand.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
