Which outcome occurs when nearshore sand dunes erode?

💡 Explanation

As sand dunes erode, the shoreline migrates landward because wave action and wind redistribute sand inland via **littoral transport**, therefore the shoreline physically moves landward, rather than accretion happening or other responses affecting water velocities.
