I don't know what you're asking as this is not phrased as a question.
The swash zone is the part of a beach shore where the waves crash.

What is the back swash?
if you mean backwash (the opposite to swash) its the water of a wave travelling back down a beach, transporting beach material, due to gravitational forces :)
What are swash and backwash at a beach?
Waves going back and fourth.
A wave that moves back down the beach under the next wave?
This phenomenon is known as "backwash." Backwash occurs when the water from a previous wave recedes back toward the ocean, usually after breaking on the shore, while the next wave approaches. It plays a key role in the continual exchange of water between the ocean and the coast.
Water that moves up the beach in a wave flows back out to sea due to?
gravity pulling it back towards the ocean as the wave recedes.
Why do pebbles go smaller the closer you are to the sea?
This is to do with tide patterns and percolation. A wave's swash (wave going up the beach) is very powerful and has enough power to carry large pebbles up the beach. However on a pebble beach, a lot of the waves energy is lost filling the gaps in the pebbles. All those small spaces mean the wave loses power and its backwash (wave going back down the beach) is much weaker than its swash. Only the smaller pebbles can be pulled back down the beach. This leaves the larger pebbles further up the beach.
Waves that causes matter to move back and fouth?
Transverse waves cause matter to move back and forth perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples include light waves and water waves.
Describe how material is transported along a beach?
Material can be transported along a beach via longshore drift;Waves approach beach at an angleMaterial is pushed up the beach by the swash in the same direction as the wave approachAs the water runs back down the beach the backwash drags material down at right angles to the beach lineOver a period of time sediment moves in this zig-zag fashion down the coast.Material can also be transported along a beach at low tide when the sand dries out by the wind (usually forming sand dunes)Material may also be transported up and down a beach by attrition. Waves may have fairly high energy so will pick up material and may loose energy further up the beach and therefore deposit it there.Might also be moved by saltation (waves carry slightly smaller sediment in the same way as attrition)Waves may be swash-aligned (waves hit beach straigt on, so sediment moved up and down beach) or drift-aligned (waves hit beach at right angles causing longshore drift)
What is beach drainage?
It is when a drain is installed under a beach. it takes all the water from under the sand and either pumps it to a pump station, which takes the water back to the sea, or just pumps it straight back to the sea.
Why is long shore drift important?
it doesnt 'work' first of all though i shall tell you what happens! sand is carried as the tide comes in it goes out straight and pushed back to shore diagonally. like this |/|/|/|/|/ unless groynes are put in not like groins!!!! GROYNES when there is a strong swash there will be a weak backwash leaving rubbish on the beach. when there is a weak swash there will be strong back wash taking rubbish away that is long shore drift,
What does Joe Swash's eastenders I'm a celebrity tattoo on the bottom of his back say?
It says 'Protected and Loved from Above'
How constructive wave form beach?
Constructive waves, as the name suggests, build up a beach. They are flat and low (around one metre in height) and their energy is limited. There are only a few waves per minute. The weaker backwash doesn't return all the material to the sea so the beach builds up.The swash of a constructive wave pushes material up the beach as far as the berm - a ridge along the back of the beach. The berm marks the highest point of the spring tide.Constructive waves form gentle beaches - an example of this can be seen at St. Cyrus.
If a 17 year old moves out with his parent consent can they make him move back?
no they can not make you move back in if you are 16 or older, if you are under 16 then yes
