Learning Check Point

Please take a few minutes to think about what you just learned, then answer the question below.

There is no credit for this activity, but this point, you should know that the relative energy of tides and waves along a coast strongly affects how sediment is transported and the morphology of the coast. You should be able to explain how you think different coastal zones look in the context of the relative strength of tides or waves.
