A lot of beaches, particularly on the east coast and Gulf states, are not permanent fixtures. Coastlines are very dynamic (ever-changing), and rising seas over time can wash much of that sand away. However, sometimes, sand can be washed away much more quickly when a large storm wreaks havoc on a coastline. Hurricane Sandy did just that to the East Coast a handful of years ago. Rebuilding from Sandy has been taking place at a very fast rate along the eastern seaboard, but this hurricane did take it's share of sand away, particularly from Coney Island. How does that sand come back

Answer:

sand was pushed back after the storm was over.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The hurricane sandy was a massive superstorm that was deadliest and most destructive and formed in category 3. It had a landfall in the Cuba and northeastern coast of America. The coney island is an extension of lower new york and is formed on a sand spits and has shifting sand.
  • The hurricane did a significant amount of erosion and deposition of sediments that occurred during the storm that resulted in high waves into the land and later on these waves contributed to the shaping of the coasts.
