SDSU Oceanography 100 (Exam 3) Questions and Answers Already Passed What are the parts of a coastal region? Coast, offshore, beach, berm, notch, wave-cut platform What does wave energy do to a coastal cliff over time? Wave Energy erodes the cliff, eventually creating sea stacks, caves and arches What do rivers and cliff erosion have to do with sand to the berm? Rivers: some carry more sediment to the ocean than longshore currents Cliff Erosion: sediments erode to join the berm H...
