Q(14):
Note that the beach is very well-developed on the seaward side of the island, but not on the landward side.
What is the primary reason for the difference in beach development?
a-Sand is added regularly to the front side of the island.
b-A hurricane has pushed the sand from the back (north) side of the island to the front (south) side of the island.
c-Longshore drift is from north towards the south
d-Waves from the ocean break on the south side of the island. Energy, and therefore deposition of sand, is concentrated here.
