Summary
[edit]DescriptionSeagrasses prevent erosion of the seafloor.png |
English: Seagrasses help to trap sediment particles transported by sea currents.
The leaves, extending toward the sea surface, slow down the water currents. The slower current is not able to carry the particles of sediment, so the particles drop down and become part of the seafloor, eventually building it up. When seagrasses are not present, the sea current has no obstacles and carries the sediment particles away, lifting them up and eroding the seafloor. |
