Longshore currents form because _____.

A. waves hit the coast at an angle and form currents in the surf zone
B. beaches absorb waves and backwash in some areas of the coast
C. backwash leaves the shore with more energy than incoming swash
D. eroded material from the shoreline deflects currents parallel to the shore

A. waves hit the coast at an angle and form currents in the surf zone
Longshore currents form because of waves hit the coast at an angle and form currents in the surf zone. This currents of longshore are said to be typical to beaches have breaking surf or interacts with these circumstances. This phenomenon is also caused by the sea water’s pushing and sweeping into the sands’ angle at a single course.

Longshore currents are formed when waves approach the shore at an angle, causing the water to flow parallel to the coastline. This movement happens due to a difference in wave speed as they enter shallower waters, creating currents in the surf zone. The correct answer is A: waves hit the coast at an angle and form currents in the surf zone.
