For 50 points some beaches, such as the one below, have had their sand carried away by years of erosion. 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. wind patterns will reverse, causing the beach to grow larger. b. weathering will increase, breaking the sand grains into smaller particles. c. deposition will increase, causing the beach to grow larger. d. erosion will increase, carrying more sand away than before.

D erosion will increase carring more sand away than before

The natural erosion of the beach gradually took sand away and made the shoreline narrow. If the beach is preserved by adding more sand and widening the shoreline, more loose sand will come into contact with the water. As a result, more sand will be carried away by erosion than before the preservation happened.

A possible way to help reduce erosion could be to put more plants along the beach.

So the answer is erosion will increase, carrying more sand away than before.
