2
Q
disadvantages of idea
A
Coastal defenses (e.g., sea walls, groynes) can significantly reduce erosion rates.
3
Q
advantage of idea
A
Land use changes (e.g., urban development) can influence natural processes and sediment supply.
Human interventions can sometimes exacerbate erosion in other areas (e.g., terminal groyne syndrome caused by groynes).
