What is the name of the theory that explains how forces within the earth can cause ocean floor to spread and continents to move?
Theory of plate tectonics explains how forces deep within earth can cause ocean floors to spread and continents to move
Is wave erosion the same as coastal erosion?
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.
Why are the NC Coastlines shrinking?
Coastal Erosion by the ocean
What is shorline erosion?
Shoreline erosion is when ocean waves erode the shoreline of the coast. It also can happen on the shores of rivers.
What are the five landforms formed by river erosion?

What can Wave impact and pressure cause in ocean?
erosion
How ocean destroy beaches?
the cause is erosion and long something
What would cause a erosion of a sandcastle?

How can an erosion effect the ocean?
erosion can effect the ocean because when there is erosion the sand will effect the height or space of the beach or ocean
Major forces that cause shoreline erosion?

Examples of constructive forces?
Volcanoes, Deposition, Tectonic Plates (Constructs various landforms), erosion, and mid ocean ridges
How do waves affect coastal landforms?
the familiar waves we spot at the beach are often caused by wind.waves are also formed through tectonic activity.the ocean floor can cause the bottom of waves to slow down.
How can erosions effect the ocean?
erosion can effect the ocean because when there is erosion the sand will effect the height or space of the beach or ocean
Waves cause erosion by?
Constantly brushing up against the shore and taking sediment with it when it goes back to the ocean.
What is the name of the theory that explains how forces within the earth can cause ocean floor to spread and continents to move?
Theory of plate tectonics explains how forces deep within earth can cause ocean floors to spread and continents to move
What is an ocean cave?
A sea cave is a type of cave formed by erosion through the waves in the ocean. The erosion normally starts at a fault in a sea cliff. Sea caves are found throughout the world, forming on coastlines right now.
