Why people who lives in coastal area should know about waves and tides?
People in coastal areas should learn about tides and waves in order to predict the best times for using the beach, to prevent accidents, and to stay alert for dangers, such as storm surges
What are undisturbed areas that are formed when two sets of waves interact with one another?
Nodal Lines
How are radio waves formed?

How are coastal mountains formed?
A coastal plain is formed when there is runoff from precipitation that flow back into the ocean and weathers and erodes the land near the coast. This usually happens on inactive plates. A lot of the East coast of the North American plate is a prime example. That is why as you get closer to the beach there is more and more sand because as you get closer to the ocean, the sediment gets smaller till it is sand.
What are powerful seismic waves that begin as an ocean floor earthquake that can reach 30 meters in height when approaching land and can cause destruction in coastal areas?
A tsunami

What are two ways coastal areas undergo erosion?
Ocean waves and wind
How are waves fored and how do they shape coastal areas?
Waves are formed from wind and other disturbances in far out water as they get closer to shore the have less water to move and so they are moved upward where the reach their crest and hit the shore. They can easily move sand and rock. They also make sand by crushing up seashells and other debris on the shore. Their biggest force though is erosion. Meaning they wear away at the shore.
How tider waves are formed?
Waves give rhythm to the ocean. They transport energy over vast distances. Where they make landfall, waves help to sculpt a unique and dynamic mosaic of coastal habitats.
Why waves are so strong in coastal areas?
I believe it is because of the uneven heating caused by the sun's radiation waves. The difference in temperatures is huge because of the heat absorbed by the water and the heat absorbed by the land in coastal areas differ greatly. This uneven temperature cause large amounts of winds.
How are waves dangerous?
Very dangerous - to those living in coastal areas. Some of the larger tidal waves can reach a few miles inland - swamping everything in their path.
