Coastlines - beach formation
An explanation of beach formation and how large, sharp rocks are ground down into sand over time. When the sea erodes the cliffs, large rocks fall away and into the sea. These rocks are tossed about by the action of the sea and they are eroded into smaller and smaller pebbles. The pebbles are eventually ground down into the tiny grains of sand that form a beach.
