What is the main effect of longshore drift?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: तट के समानांतर अवसाद का स्थानांतरण
Longshore drift is the transport of beach sediment parallel to the shoreline. Waves usually approach the coast obliquely, pushing sand and pebbles up the beach at an angle; gravity then pulls the material straight back down the slope, producing a zigzag movement with a net alongshore direction. This process can build spits, bars and beaches, so option B is correct.
