Littoral drift is the natural process of sediment transport along the shoreline by waves, currents, and tides. It plays a crucial role in shaping coastal landforms and can contribute to erosion or deposition of sediment along a coastline. Understanding littoral drift is important for coastal management and engineering to mitigate erosion and protect coastal infrastructure.

Nearshore large sand and gravel particles are moved along the ocean?
This movement of sand and gravel particles is typically called littoral drift and is driven by waves, currents, and tides. It plays a crucial role in shaping coastlines and beaches through erosion, deposition, and sediment transport. Human activities, such as coastal engineering structures or dredging, can also impact littoral drift processes.
