Geographical Processes relevant to Coastal Management

Some processes associated with coastal management include hydaraulich action, corrosion, corrasion, longshore drift and dune stabilisation. Hydraulich action is the erosion caused by the constant friction of water moving over a surface. Corrosion is the breaking down of a material which can happen to rocks on the coast due to erosion etc. Corrasion is the erosion of rocks due to objects like sand being dragged over it by water. Longsore drift is the movement of sand deposits along a beach due to water currents on the beach. Dune stabilisation stabilises a dune from erosion in a process of increasing plant life on the dune.
