Does the build up of s waves cause earthquakes?
Only certain kind of waves it may vary.
What does a constructive wave do?
Constructive waves are waves with low energy, thus have a stronger swash then backwash. Where there are less than 8 waves breaking each minute they tend to be constructive waves. Constructive waves tend to deposit material and build up a beach.
How much money was it to build the Henderson wave bridge?
it took 11 years to build the Henderson waves bridge.
When plates move away from each other what occurs?
waves of energy build up and release an earthquake.
How waves can both build and destroy coastlines?
Waves can build coastlines by depositing sediment and creating features like beaches and sandbars. However, waves can also erode coastlines by wearing away rocks and cliffs through processes like abrasion and hydraulic action. The balance between these two processes determines whether a coastline is being built up or worn down.
What waves are associated with coastal deposition?
Swash and backwash waves are associated with coastal deposition. Swash waves carry sediment onto the beach, while backwash waves transport sediment back into the ocean. This back-and-forth movement helps build up beaches and contribute to coastal deposition processes.
Where are constructive waves found?
Constructive waves are typically found in shallow water areas near the shoreline, where the wave energy is focused and builds up on the seafloor. These waves are characterized by a strong swash and a weak backwash, which allows them to deposit sediments and build beaches.
Why are waves stronger in the South West of Britain?
Beacause it is more exposed to the Atlantic. Further North is protected by Ireland.
What will happen to a base isolated building when seismic waves strike the building?
it will not break it will just stand because it is build to be strong.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of breakwater?
advantages are that they stop the waves having as much power disadvantages are that they are ugly and take time to build
How does Hawaii get such big waves?
Winter storms a long way from Hawaii. There are a few thousand miles of ocean to let the wind build up REALLY big waves before they strike the shallow water at the islands. In special times, the waves may be more than 40 feet tall.
How do you increase the energy of waves?
One way to increase the energy of waves is to increase the velocity of the wind that generates them. Stronger winds create larger and more powerful waves. Another way is to increase the fetch, which is the distance over which the wind blows. Longer fetch allows waves to build up more energy before reaching the shoreline.
