What do waves breaking on a shoreline cause?
Erosion, maybe?
Do waves hit the shoreline at an angle?
Yes they do. Only very few waves hit the shore straight on.
How can rthe 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,
How does the refraction cause wave crest to move the waves approach shore?
nearly parallel to the shoreline
Where does the energy to change the shoreline come from?
They move around faster or slower depending on the type of change
How do waves even out the shoreline?
Waves even out a shoreline by eroding it.The waves coming to shore gradually change direction, as different parts of the wave begins to drag the bottom.The energy of the wave is concentrated on headlands, part of the shore that sticks out into the ocean.As waves erode the headlands the shoreline will eventually even out.Tee Hee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ___------ -/---- ----\/--- --- \------------ ---- --
How are ocean waves a force of gradual change to the earths surface?
They slowly change the shoreline by moving sand.
How does energy from waves affect a shoreline?
Waves play a major role in building up and breaking down the shoreline. As waves break against a shoreline, rock is broken into sand.
How does the energy of ocean waves alter beaches and the shoreline?
It has caused the shoreline to erode.
What causes the shoreline to change?
What causes the shoreline to change well that's and easy question you might not see it and but when at night the waves come through and back so from the ocean the more water that comes from there the bigger the wave the bigger the shroreline
Why large waves are more able to remove large chumks of rock from a shoreline than average sized waves are?
Large waves are able to remove more large chunks of rock from a shoreline then average sized waves due to their sheer force. Larger waves are more powerful and are usually a culprit for shoreline erosion.
What does seasat measure?
the velocity of waves hitting the shoreline.
What do waves breaking on a shoreline cause?
Erosion, maybe?
What is the effect of low energy waves on coasts?
The effect of low energy waves on coasts is to slowly errode the shoreline. This can dramatically change the landscape over even a short period of time.
What is shorline erosion?
Shoreline erosion is when ocean waves erode the shoreline of the coast. It also can happen on the shores of rivers.
When waves strike the shoreline they concentrate their energy on?
headland
What is the area of the shoreline made of material deposited by waves?
beach
