It involves\u00a0wearing away and redistributing solid elements of the shoreline as well as sediment.\u00a0Erosion occurs when the material being removed, for deposition elsewhere, exceeds the rate of supply finally resulting in the\u00a0landward shifting of the shoreline.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ChatGPT-Image-Aug-17-2026-03_16_12-PM-1024x576.png"}
