Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- While these measures can buy time, most experts agree they only delay a retreat that will continue unless the underlying causes of erosion are addressed.
- To slow this process, some coastal towns have begun trucking in new sand or building underwater barriers that absorb wave energy before it reaches the shore.
- As the shoreline retreats, homes and roads built close to the water become increasingly vulnerable to flooding and structural damage.
- This erosion accelerates during storms, when powerful swells strip away in a single night what might normally take months to disappear.
- Along many coastlines, waves and currents are gradually wearing away the sand that once formed wide, stable beaches.
