They wear away rock at the base of rocky shorelines.
Wave erosion always occurs where land meets sea, as this is the only means by which the sea can possibly erode anything. It also only occurs above water - i.e. Coastlines - as wave exist only on the surface in the manifested 'wave' form/shape.
longshore drift affects the waves coming in
by the powerful waves washing up at shore peace out
by breaking down the rock through abrasion, by it's impact, and by it's speed.
A cave is sometimes created when waves erode a headland.
Attrition - waves hitting the cliffs knocking little pieces off the cliffsHydraulic action - waves hitting the cliffs causing sea caves
true
Wave erosion is when ocean waves move sediments and erode the ocean floor.Coastal erosion is when ocean waves generate currents, and when in comes into contact with land, it erodes the land.
Waves, especially during severe storms, erode shorelines by washing away sand, rocks and soil.
The two processes by which waves erode the land are impact and abrasion
Abrasion and hydraulic action

A way waves cause erosion: waves wear away the land and erode the surface.
Yes they are because the impact of the waves erodes the object to a size. The harder the waves the easier and faster the land will erode
Well, i only know one of them which is impact
no destructive they erode the land. In places that are flat like Florida there are no high waves but in California where there are cliffs the waves are higher.
Usually waves erode land. Waves may form land if they push material from another location into a particular area. For example, the natural sea wall on Mt. Desert Island in Maine, was formed by such a process.
it is about 1 foot each year
