What other agent can cause both erosion and deposition?
wave action , running water , moving ice
How does wave refraction result in sediment deposition in some shoreline areas?
In deeper water offshore, incoming waves move at constant speed, but they slow down in shallower waters. As an incoming wave approaches the shoreline at an oblique angle, the part of the wave in shallower water will have a lower speed than the part in deeper water. These different speeds for different parts of the same wave cause the wave to refract (bend). In general, wave refraction rotates obliquely incoming waves toward parallelism with the coastline. Over time, headland erosion and deposition in protected bays and coves tend to even out irregularities, thus straightening the coastline.
What is hydrochloric action?
Hey, Hydrochloric action is where a wave hits a rock and causes cracks. When a wave hits the rock, it isn't the wave that causes the crack, it's the air pressure trapped from the wave.
How is a coast formed?
coastal erosion is the wearing away of land or the removal beach or dune sediments by wave action, tidal currents , wave currents, or drainaige. On rocky coasts, coastal erosiom can results in an horrific / dramatic rock formations in areas where the coastline contains rock layer or frature plales with varieng resistance to erosion.
What Is a wave-cut notch?
An indentation cut into a sea cliff at water level by wave action.
What are results of wave action?
causes beach erosion and changes the coastline
What is sandy or rocky and are always changing?
Your description best fits a beach or coastline that is constantly changed by wave action.
What happen when waves pass by?
the suns move aroung etternally
What causes breakers to form?
When the wave approach the coastline, the height of the wave changes because of the density in the water between the top of the breaker and the sand .So when the wave gets closer to the shore it gets smaller in till it tumbles over.
How does wave refraction affect a coastline?
Eroison
What is Definition of amplitude of a wave?
It means how much whatever changes in the wave, changes. For instance, how much the pressure changes, in a sound wave.
What kind of wave in which amplitude changes to create sound?
The type of wave in which amplitude changes to create sound is a sound wave. Amplitude is the measure of the changes within the wave.
What changes are likely to happen when ocean waves meet with land?
It can cause a Tsunami a huge sea wave.
What other agent can cause both erosion and deposition?
wave action , running water , moving ice
Why is the p-wave caused by atrial contraction?
The p-wave is the atrial depolarization or when the atrium contract to pump blood to the ventricles. The "p-wave" is showing you how the electic current changes while the heart is doing that specific action.
What is the main process that forms a beach?
Deposition. Rivers carry sediments from the land to the sea. If wave action is high, a delta will not form. Waves will spread the sediments along the coastline to create a beach.
When was Wave Action Surf Magazine created?
Wave Action Surf Magazine was created in 1993.
