The two correct answers that can cause beach erosion are:

  1. Storm waves
  2. Ocean currents

Storm waves can erode beaches by breaking down sand and sediment, while ocean currents can move sediment away from the shore, contributing to erosion. Dune vegetation can help prevent erosion, sandbars can act as barriers, and shifting shorelines can be a result of erosion rather than a cause.
