Cross shore transport differs from longshore transport in that cross shore transport
Answer: B
Correct answer: redistributes sediment within the profile rather than along it
Cross-shore transport moves sediment up and down the profile - offshore into bars during storms, back onshore during calm periods - so the material generally stays within the same stretch of coast. Longshore transport moves it along the coast and can remove it from the frontage altogether. Distinguishing the two matters, since a beach flattened by cross-shore transport will recover and one drained by longshore drift will not.
