What effect does waves and currents have on shorelines?
wave direction at sea is determined by the wind,waves usually roll toward shore at an angle.But as thhey touch bottom,the shallower water slows the shoreward side of the wave first.The rows of waves gradually turn and become more nearly parallel to the shore.
What happen before tidal waves?
The water at the shore recedes and goes out to sea to contribute to the wave. (undertow)
How can tides pull you out to sea?
An ebbing tide is when sea water is moving away from the shore after a high tide. Large waves crashing and flowing up the beach flows back into the sea. This backwards flow is often strong enough to sweep swimmers out to sea. An off-shore wind is capable of blowing children's inflatables and beach balls out to sea.
What is the difference between seismograph and tsunami?
A seismograph is an instrument used to measure seismic waves in the earth's crust. In other words a seismograph detects earthquakes. A tsunami occurs when there is an earthquake at sea. The earthquake causes colossal tidal waves to form and the waves crash onto shore. This is a tsunami.
What causes riptide?
When wind and waves push water toward the shore, water is often forced sideways by the oncomin waves. The water streams along the shore until it finds its way back to an open sea or lake a riptide can usually narrow and in a trench between sandbars, under piers and sometimes along jetties.

Its is called a Tsunami.

Why do we see the surf only when the sea water reaches the shore or the waves break at the coast though the sea water is almost colorless?
When waves break they tend to trap air bubbles and form a short-lived foam. These bubbles reflect light and therefore be seen. This applies on open sea and not just at shore or coastline.
How can the energy of waves traveling through water affect the shoreline?
Waves typically affect the shoreline by eroding it. Constant forces of water against the shore make it weak, and will break down the rocks over time. Waves also bring animals from the sea onto the shore,
