A coastline is studied using two time scales: • Representation 1 (short-term): Daily beach photos over 2 weeks show the shoreline moving landward after a storm and then moving seaward again a few days later. • Representation 2 (long-term): A map comparing shoreline position from 1980 to 2020 shows the average shoreline has moved landward over decades. Which statement is supported by the long-term representation but not necessarily by the short-term representation?
