creation of wider beaches
creation of wider beaches

increased sand on the beach
increased sand on the beach

raised elevation of a beach

Answer 1

None of these options are entirely accurate. Storm waves can lead to erosion of beaches, which can result in loss of sand and decreased beach width. Additionally, storm waves can also lead to the formation of sandbars offshore, but they typically do not directly move beach sand to these sandbars. Therefore, the most accurate response would be: erosion and loss of sand on the beach.
