What happens to wavelengths as waves approach shore?
they get shorter
Why does waves carry energy with them?
When something changes, there is usually energy involved. This is perhaps clearest in the case of mechanical waves, e.g. sound: it involves movement of atoms, i.e., kinetic energy. When the air in a sound wave is compressed, it temporarily stores potential energy (elastic energy). Similarly, electromagnetic waves involve changes in electric and magnetic fields; and both of these fields store energy. The waves transfer this energy from one place to another.
When two identical waves superimposed then what changes occurs?
The amplitude of the wave changes.
What causes waves to break as they approach shore?
the water becoming gradually more shallow..
How does the refraction cause wave crest to move the waves approach shore?
nearly parallel to the shoreline
How are different waves approach?
small waves are approached by paddling out and letting it catch you the same is for all waves.

Is it true that waves change direction as they approach Shore because of drag?
No
What changes as electromagnetic waves change?
As an electromagnetic wave changes, so does its energy.
When two identical waves superimposed then what changes occurs?
The amplitude of the wave changes.
Why call light as E M wave which is not having neither electric nor magnet?
Electromagnetic waves, like light, do involve changes in the electric and the magnetic field. These changes propagate at the speed of light - as a wave.Electromagnetic waves, like light, do involve changes in the electric and the magnetic field.

Seismic sea waves which approach the coasts at greater force are known as?
Tsunami
How does wave energy impact the erosion of rock?
waves slow down as they approach the shoreline!
Would waves approach the shore in the same manner if the shoreline was gradual or very steep?
no
What causes waves to break as they approach shore?
the water becoming gradually more shallow..
What cause the MOST of the changes in beaches and shoreline earthquakes or tornadoes or wind and waves or heating and cooling?
wind and waves
