A factor in coastal erosion is the sea level rise. It cause erosion and it takes
from centuries to milleniums. It is relative to the rise and fall of the sea. As the sea
level rises it covers more sediments and as it lowers some of the sediments that it
covers is taken back out with the tide. A storm surge causes erosion. It takes from a
few hours to a few days. A major

the movement of
sediments causing the sediments on a coastline to become distorted. Elevation of
plates will also cause the sediments to be easier to erode away.
Over all Erosion rate over time at a given point along the shoreline depends
on factors such as direction of littoral drift, inlet dynamics, sand supply, short- and
long-term climate fluctuations, gradient of submerged ocean or lake bottom, relative
mean sea level, human actions affecting shore lint processes.
