with erosion‚ however‚ every method comes with disadvantages. One way in which soft engineering working well with the natural environment and is also effective‚ is beach nourishment.

Wider beaches absorb the energy of the waves before they can create damage to the coast‚ as they reduce the erosion of the

the wetting and drying‚ and the freezing and thawing of the land. These actions cause alternate expansion and contraction of rocks which eventually cause the rocks to crack. Factors which play important role in physical weathering include: * Erosion by wind and water. * The action of plants‚ for example‚ cracks caused by penetrating roots. * The action of animals‚ for example‚ worm casts formed by earthworms. * Human interference. Chemical Weathering is the breakdown of rocks
