Is longshore drift the cause or effect of a longshore current?
Angled waves create a current that runs parallel to the coatline. As waves repeatedly hit the beach, some of the beach sediment moves down the beach with the current.
How do waves even out the shoreline?
Waves even out a shoreline by eroding it.The waves coming to shore gradually change direction, as different parts of the wave begins to drag the bottom.The energy of the wave is concentrated on headlands, part of the shore that sticks out into the ocean.As waves erode the headlands the shoreline will eventually even out.Tee Hee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ___------ -/---- ----\/--- --- \------------ ---- --
How does waves cause erosion?
Waves are energy carried by the water, and this energy pounds away at rocks on the shore, eventually wearing them down. Sediment is carried back into the water by the receding waves. As the waves come to shore again, the sediment acts like sandpaper, slowly wearing away at the shoreline.

A movement or vibration in earth?
Earthquake or Seismic Waves

What is the waves of muscular movement that pushes food through the digestive system?
Peristalsis is the term for the waves of muscular movement that push food through the digestive system. Peristalsis is accomplished through the activity of smooth muscle.
What is an alliteration for waves crasing against the sea shore?
Whispering waves washing the shore.
What is the frequency of the waves traveling to the shore if six waves reach the shore in 30 seconds?
The frequency of the waves is 0.20 HZ.
What is transferred to the beach when waves hit the shore?
When waves hit the shore it transfers energy.
What evidence tells you that a location is having a high tide or a low tide?
it is because at a high tide it is high waves and at a low tide it is smooth steady low water.
Along what does longshore currents transport sediment?
Waves approach a shore obliquely (at an angle) due to the effects or the tides, currents the coriolis effect etc. and then retreat due to gravity straight. A good analogue is to roll a marble up a slope at an angle; it will fall more linearly on its return. Hope this helps.
From which direction does the waves arrive at beach?
It depends on the wind direction. The waves may be straight on to the shore, or hit the shore at an angle.
What is segmentation and peristalsis?
This the way the movement occurs in smooth muscle. Peristalsis occurs in the intestine. Segmental movements occur there also but in large waves.
What are the example of mechanical waves?
water waves on a shore, sound waves, earth quakes.
Near the shore tsunamis are higher or lower than average waves?
They are usually higher than average waves near shore..
What is peristalsis and segmental movements?
This the way the movement occurs in smooth muscle. Peristalsis occurs in the intestine. Segmental movements occur there also but in large waves.
