Waves can cause erosion and deposition of sediment, which can lead to the shifting of shorelines over time. As waves come into contact with the shore, they carry and deposit sediment, which can build up or break down the shoreline. Additionally, storm waves can cause sudden and significant shoreline shifts, such as during hurricanes or other severe weather events.
