Longshore current is the movement of water nearest the coast. Usually caused by tides.
Longshore drift is the movement of beach or coastal material, by longshore drift. The action of waves loosen the material, which is then moved by the current and deposited further down tide. The action is greater during storms.
What else can I help you with?
What creates longshore current?
Longshore currents create beaches.
Why don't longshore currents form in places where waves hit the shore head-on?
Long-shore currents don't form in places where waves hit the shore head-on because the sand is moving in a zigzag pattern, making it at an angle.
Hypothesis that the continents have moved slowly to their current locations?
The theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. These are relatively new ideas; when I was young, they were still fairly controversial. But as the evidence has accumulated, most people have become convinced that these are valid explanations of how things came to be as they are. Just remember that the next time somebody says that something is "settled science"; the science of any discipline is NEVER settled.
What is a typical drift speed of electrons that make up a current in a typical DC?
That depends upon the type of metal you are using, but something along the lines of 1x10^-5 m/s is alright
A random change in a population's allele frequency?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. By mutation, genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection.
What is the process by which beach sediment moves down the beach with the current?
the process in which beach sediment move down a beach with the current
What is the difference between longshore drift and longshore current?
Current is with water and drift is moving sediments in the current
What kinds of landforms do longshore drift and longshore currents produce?

Is longshore drift the cause or the effect of a longshore current explain?
Longshore drift is the process by which sediments move along the shoreline due to waves hitting the coast at an angle. Longshore drift is the cause of a longshore current, which is the flow of water parallel to the shoreline that results from the movement of sediments.
Is longshore drift the cause or effect of a longshore current. Explain?
effect. longshore drift is the combined effect of sediments moved by longshore currents and and beach drift. longshore currents are ocean currents that flow parallel to the coast while beach drift is the resultant zigzag movement along the beach.
Is longshore drift the cause or effect of a longshore current?
Longshore drift is the process of sediment moving along a beach due to wave action. It is driven by the longshore current, which is a current that flows parallel to the shoreline. Therefore, longshore drift is the result or effect of a longshore current.
Is longshore drift the cause or the effect of a longshore?
Longshore drift is the process where sediment moves along the shoreline due to waves and currents. It is the cause of coastal features like sandbars and spits that form parallel to the coast.
What drift in longshore drift?
Beach sediment
Why is a longshore drift a problem at Dawlish Warren?
Longshore drift moves sediment along the beach which lengthens the sand spit. Groynes have been put in place to try and reduce the effects of longshore drift.
What is the process in which beach sediments is moved down the beach with the current?
Longshore drift.
