The two correct answers that can cause beach erosion are:
1. **Storm waves**
2. **Ocean currents**
Storm waves can erode beaches by striking the shore with great force, while ocean currents can transport sand and sediment away from the beach, leading to erosion. Shifting shorelines and sandbars typically do not cause erosion, and dune vegetation often helps to prevent it.
