Name and describe two kinds of currents that wave action can cause near shore?
Two kinds of currents that wave action can cause near shore are "Longshore Current", which is the overall direction and movement of the waves that strike the shore at an angle. The other kind of current is "Rip Currents", which are narrow streams of water that break through sandbars and drain rapidly back to sea.
What is the meaning for wave vane?
Wave vane means a device to measure breaker angle in the nearshore. This device was developed by P.Chandramohan, National Institute of Oceanography, India to take Littoral Environmental Observations (LEO) in the nearshore. This wave vane is very much helpful to coastal engineers and oceanographers where measurement of breaker angle is very essential for longshore currents and littoral drift computations.
What kinds of ocean currents might cause seafloor spreading?
Ocean currents have no effect whatsoever. Seafloor spreading is caused by convection currents in the rock of the earth's mantle.
