It discusses the rock cycle, which illustrates the transformation of rocks via uplift, erosion, sedimentation, and other processes. Key steps in the cycle include burial, cementation, and weathering, highlighting the dynamic interactions within Earth's geology.

It describes streams and rivers as vital transporters of eroded materials, with streams varying in size and speed. The page details how streams carry materials through different loads and create floodplains and levees, while rivers deposit sediments forming deltas and alluvial fans. Deltas occur where river velocity decreases at ocean edges, and alluvial fans develop in flat, arid areas.

Seasonal changes affect beach characteristics, and human interventions like sand addition and coastal structures can complicate erosion management. Barrier islands provide storm protection but face urbanization challenges. Understanding wave energy is essential for effective coastal management and preserving shorelines.
