Detailed explanation-1: -Deposition happens when waves and tides work together to drop sand and shingle (small pebbles and broken shells) along the coastline. Constructive waves have a powerful upbeach movement (swash) which drags material up the beach. The wave slows down as it moves up the shore, and some of the water seeps into the sand.
Detailed explanation-2: -Beaches, Spit and Bar are the Depositional Landforms formed by the sea waves. Beaches are depositional landforms created by the action of sea waves. Spit is a narrow coastal land formation that is tied to the coast at one end. A bar is an elongated deposit of sand, shingle or mud found almost parallel to the shore.
Detailed explanation-3: -Erosion By Waves Waves are the major cause of erosion along the coast. Waves shape the coast through erosion by breaking down rock and moving sand and other sediment.
Detailed explanation-4: -Work of Sea Waves The erosion and deposition of the sea waves gives rise to coastal landforms.
