The coast refers to the general region of land near the water.

The coastal zone is


the area of land where marine processes have an impact thus the erosion also
follows but the waves and currents are the most common causes of coastal erosion,
the coast is eroded by the influence of waves and currents.

The coast and coastline, each have their own distinct traits that are formed by
external forces.
The next slide that I discussed is about the coastal areas that are prone to hazard or
expose to it. I gave also example of pictures on my presentation. These area are
coastal hazards include coastal flooding, high winds and waves, short- and long-
term shoreline erosion, and storm surges, all of which pose a threat to life and
property along the coast.
The next slide is about coastal erosion and corration, coastal erosion is the wear
and tear of rocks, soils, and/or sands along the coast caused by rising sea levels,
intense wave action, and coastal floods. And the corration is the strictly mechanical
wear of bedrock caused by moving detrital and other materials during (a) their
migration downslope under gravity's influence, and (b) their subsequent
conveyance by erosional forces such as running water, moving ice, or wind.
And on the next slide the coastal abrasion is being discussed and portray by picture
on the slide.
Abrasion is an erosion process that occurs when material in transit wears away at a
surface over time. Scuffing, scratching, wearing down, marring, and rubbing away
of materials are all examples of friction. The hardness, concentration, velocity, and
mass of the moving particles all influence the abrasion intensity.
