Beach Morphology

Beach morphology refers to the physical shape and features of a shoreline, shaped by natural processes like waves, tides, wind, and sediment movement. It includes elements such as the beach profile, dune systems, and the arrangement of sand and sediments. The morphology determines how a beach looks and responds to environmental changes, influencing erosion, stability, and habitat types. Understanding beach morphology helps in managing coastal areas, assessing erosion risks, and planning for sustainable development or conservation efforts. It is essential for studying how coastlines evolve over time and how they interact with ocean dynamics.
