Is a ocean lentic or lotic water?
It has to be Lotic, because of waves and currents.
Why don't longshore currents form in places where waves hit the shore head-on?
Long-shore currents don't form in places where waves hit the shore head-on because the sand is moving in a zigzag pattern, making it at an angle.
Can waves and currents help form beaches.?
Yes they can.

How are convection currents in water like convection currents in earths mantle?
They both are the same because they are currents that move like waves
Can cold and warm currents form waves?
yes but sometimes no. wait actually YES and No
Why ocean currents flow from Atlantic ocean to Mediterranean sea?
because there are waves
What affects do water waves and currents have on beaches?
waves and currents make the shore bigger
Why do you form waves in form of curves?
Because waves ARE curved shapes!
How are currents that form in heated air similar to currents that form in heated water?
Currents that form in heated air are similar to currents that form in warm water because heated air goes up and cold air goes down creating convection currents.
How are currents different from waves?
Currents are a small source of water moving and waves are a bigger source of water moving. The waves are control (more or less made) by the wind where as the waves control and create the currents which is pretty strange. Currents are the one associated with the movement of water where as Waves carry only Energy i.e. NO mass transport
How do longshore currents form?
beaches absorb waves and backwash in some areas of the coast
