You own a beachfront lot that has been experiencing erosion due to beach starvation.
Your neighbor to the north (up-current) has the same problem, so he gets permission to
build a groin just north of your property line. Your response would probably be to -
ANSWER-get permission to build a groin of your own near the southern boundary of
your property; A groin will help by trapping some of the remaining sand from the
longshore drift. However, it will only make the problem worse for down-current
properties
The coastal wetlands of Louisiana are being lost primarily because of - ANSWER-a
combination of subsidence and rising sea level
Of the following statements about coastal regions and landforms, which is/are true?
, The area of a beach above the shoreline is often called the recreational beach.
The berm is affected by storm waves but is typically dry and relatively flat.
The berm is located in the backshore area.
The nearshore is exposed during low tide each day.
Most of the beach face is exposed during the lowest tides and covered during the
highest tides.
The beach face is the wet, sloping surface in the foreshore area. - ANSWER-The area

Of the following statements about longshore transport (longshore drift), which is/are
true?
Longshore transport can change direction depending on which direction the waves
approach the beach.
Longshore transport moves sediment in a zigzag path.
Longshore transport moves sediment upcoast or downcoast along the beach.
Longshore transport and rip currents are the same thing.
Longshore transport moves just a small amount of sediment along the shore during a
year.
Longshore transport describes the movement of water in the surf zone. - ANSWER-

approach the beach.
Longshore transport moves sediment in a zigzag path.
Longshore transport moves sediment upcoast or downcoast along the beach.
Of the following characteristics or features, which is/are associated with erosional
shores?
A large volume of sediment input
Tectonic activity
Wave-cut benches and marine terraces
A coastline with lots of rugged headlands
Rocky coasts - ANSWER-Tectonic activity
Wave-cut benches and marine terraces
A coastline with lots of rugged headlands
