How does wave energy impact the erosion of a rocks?
Waves slow down as they approach a shoreline. The first parts of the shoreline that waves meet are the headlands, or pieces of land that project into the water. The slowing waves bend toward the headlands, which concentrates the waves' energy. A huge amount of energy is released when waves crash into headlands, causing the land to erode.
What are two types of glacial erosion?
The two processes by which glaciers erode the land are plucking and abrasion.
What is 2 ways that glaciers erode the land?
abrasion and plucking
What type of glaciers are there and how do they erode the land?
glacial deposition and glacial erosion
What happens to the ability of a river to erode land under it if its slope decreases?
If a rivers slope decreases, its ability to erode land under it decreases too. The slope determines the rivers velocity. The steeper the slope, the higher the velocity, the more erosion.
Are two ways which the waves erode the land?
abrasion and impact
Which are two ways in which waves erode the land?
abrasion and impact
The two process by which waves erode the land are?
Well, i only know one of them which is impact
How are waves involved in erosion?
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
What are two ways waves erode the land?
Attrition - waves hitting the cliffs knocking little pieces off the cliffsHydraulic action - waves hitting the cliffs causing sea caves
What are two processes by which glacier erode the land?
Plucking and Abrasion.
What are ways waves erode land?
Abrasion and hydraulic action
What two ways waves erode land?
Abrasion and hydraulic action
What is a way waves cause erosion?
A way waves cause erosion: waves wear away the land and erode the surface.

Are ocean tides constructive?
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.
