Principle_2_3-5, Rocky seashores, sandy beaches, and estuaries are habitats found where the ocean meets the land and support a variety of life Compare and contrast physical features of the habitats, Rivers carry sediments downstream to the ocean. Sediments are deposited at the mouth of rivers, which builds coastline. GA(5), Concept 2b: Movement of water erodes and deposits materials that shape the coastline TX (5.12a), SC(5), NY(K-8), GA(5), MA(3-5), NSES(K-8), CA(4), FL(3-5) Waves and currents move sediment along the coastline., Rivers carry sediments downstream to the ocean. Most sand on beaches comes from rivers., Concept 2b: Movement of water erodes and deposits materials that shape the coastline TX (5.12a), SC(5), NY(K-8), GA(5), MA(3-5), NSES(K-8), CA(4), FL(3-5) Wave energy can break down rocks on the shore constantly changing the appearance and location of the shoreline, Sedimentary rocks are formed when ocean sediments are compressed. TX(5), NSES(K-8), SC(5), MA(3-5) Some Earth sediments are made up of dead organisms, Changes in sea level shape the Earth's surface During ice ages sea level falls; during periods of warm climates sea level rises. NSES(5-8), TX(4), Concept 2a: Some land forms we see today were once under water Some islands form from underwater volcanic activity, Changes in sea level shape the Earth's surface The coastline changes as sea levels rise and fall, Concept 2c: Unique habitats form where the ocean meets the land GA(3), TX(3), CA(3) Some of these habitats are created by living organisms
