Dear steemian
Abrasion is a term to describe the coastal erosion that occurs due to destructive ocean waves and currents. Such erosion leads to the depletion of coastal areas from the closest to sea water due to being the first target of erosion. If left unchecked, abrasion will continue to undermine the shore so that the sea water will inundate areas that used to play sand or residential areas and coastal areas of the beach. This is not a figment because such a phenomenon has already appeared in the coastal area of Indramayu where coastal abrasion has dredged at least 40 kilometers of coastal area.
**Here is an explanation of coastal :**
The Cause of Abrasion
Commonly known as coastal erosion, abrasion and erosion can thus be caused by various factors, ranging from natural factors to human factors. Natural phenomena that cause abrasion include tidal sea water, wind above the ocean that produces waves and ocean currents of destructive power. Such causes are almost inevitable because the ocean has its own cycle where it is in a period, the wind blows very hard and creates waves and currents that are not small. Meanwhile, the factors that cause abrasion of human activities include the imbalance of marine ecosystems and global warming or commonly called global warming. Imbalances of marine ecosystems, for example, occur as a result of massive exploitation of the marine wealth from fish, coral reefs and so on so that currents and ocean waves massively lead to coastal areas and potentially cause abrasion
# Factors causing coastal abrasion
The cause of global warming is generally due to excessive use of motor vehicles and smoke from industrial plants or forest fires. Smoke from motor vehicles and factories and burned forests produces carbon dioxide that blocks the heat of the sun reflected off the earth so that heat is lifted and 'dwell' in the earth's atmosphere. As a result, temperatures on Earth are rising, the polar ice melts and the seawater level is increasing so that it will erode the low ground.
