Question 16: Part B: Why does the beach shown in the video look the way that it does during
summertime?
Answer: Small waves move sand up the beach face and create a wide, sandy beach.
Question 17: Part C: Why does the beach in the video look the way that it does during wintertime?
Answer: Large waves move sand offshore onto longshore sand bars and create a rocky beach.
