2. 2The transport of sand along the coast is called [blank_start]Longshore Drift[blank_end]. The [blank_start]prevailing wind[blank_end] cause the waves to approach the coast at an angle. The [blank_start]swash[blank_end] carries sediment up the beach at an angle (usually around 45 degrees) and the [blank_start]backwash[blank_end] pulls it straight back down, not at an angle. Individual particles are moved along the beach in a [blank_start]zig zag[blank_end] pattern.
