Santa Monica Beach, California, USA
A beach is a shoreline formation that meets a body of water and contains sand, gravel, soil or other sediment. It has a shallow slope and can generally be walked upon without much difficulty. A beach may also contain particles or sediment from seashells and other sea life.
Wave action causes the wearing of stones and other material, reducing them in size until they become grains of sand. As the size and weight of particles are reduced, the rate of wearing slows down. Particles of sand can exist for long periods of time before turning to dust or sediment. In some cases, beaches contain soil or other sediment that was formed by another process when it was not a shoreline. Wave action shapes the material into a slope along the shore. Artificial beaches are also created to provide recreational areas for local people and tourists. Sand may be transported to the area from another location.
A beach may be found on the shoreline of an ocean, sea, lake, river or stream.
