Also known as beaches, strand
A beach is a landform alongside a body of water which consists of loose particles. The particles composing a beach are typically made from rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, etc., or biological sources, such as mollusc shells or coralline algae. Sediments settle in different densities and structures, depending on the local wave action and weather, creating different textures, colors and gradients or layers of material.
A beach is a shoreline made up of loose particles like sand, gravel, and shells that accumulate where land meets water. The arrangement and appearance of these materials vary depending on local waves and weather conditions, creating different textures, colors, and layers.
