What are corrosion abrasion solution and attrition all types of?
swash
What is the destructive ocean wave produced by an earthquake?
There are 2 ways. One way is when large waves have a backwash that is stronger than the swash. The stronger backwash causes more materials to be removed from the beach instead of being deposited. The other way is when there is a storm, strong winds produce large waves which pound against the coast and remove large amounts of materials from it.
What is short shore drift?
Short shore drift consists of the transportation of sediment (clay, silt, sand and shingle) along a coast at an angle to the shoreline, which is dependent on prevailing wind direction, swash and backwash. This process occurs in the littoral zone, and in or close to the surf zone. The process is also known as short shore transport or littoral drift.Short shore drift is influenced by numerous aspects of the coastal system, with processes that occur within the surf zone largely influencing the deposition and erosion of sediments. Short shore currents can generate oblique breaking waves which result in short shore transport.Short shore drift can generally be defined in terms of the systems within the surf zone as seen in figure 1. This figure shows that sediment transport along the shore and surf zone is influenced by the swash (occurs in the direction of prevailing wind), which moves the pebble up the beach at the angle of the waves, and moves the pebble back down the beach due to the influence of gravity.Short shore drift affects numerous sediment sizes as it works in slightly different ways depending on the sediment (e.g. the difference in long shore drift of sediments from a sandy beach to that of sediments from a shingle beach). Sand is largely affected by the oscillatory force of breaking waves, the motion of sediment due to the impact of breaking waves and bed shear from long shore current. Whereas because shingle beaches are much steeper than sandy ones, plunging breakers are more likely to form, causing the majority of long shore transport to occur in the swash zone, due to a lack of surf zone.
How can waves be responsible for both erosion and deposition?
All waves are responsible for both but, the overall (net) effect depends on the strenght of the swash (forward movement) and backwash (backwards movement). There are two main types of waves. The first is constructive waves which has a strong swash but the water quickly loses energy (depositing matierial) and then moving back to the sea with a weak backwash (therefore not moving much sediment away). The second is destructive waves which have a much stronger backwash than swash meaning more sediment gets removed than added leading to net erosion. Waves can also erode cliff faces by three processes: Abrasion(sediment in the sea is thrown against cliff face), Solution(chemicals in the sea erode certain rock types) and hydraulic action( water forced into cracks in the cliff face creates 'explosive' effect when wave draws back).
What does a constructive wave do?
Constructive waves are waves with low energy, thus have a stronger swash then backwash. Where there are less than 8 waves breaking each minute they tend to be constructive waves. Constructive waves tend to deposit material and build up a beach.
What happens when you change the angle of a swash plate?
Direction of helicopter changes slightly
Waves that causes matter to move back and fouth?
swash and backwash
What are the differences between bent axis pump and swash plate pump?
In the bent axis pump,the pistons are at an angle to the drive shaft and thrust plate. The connecting rods are attached to the thrust plate and revolve with it , unlike the swash plate pump where the piston rods slide past a stationary swash plate. In the swash plate pump the rotating shaft and plate are shown in silver.
What is the birth name of Joe Swash?
Joe Swash's birth name is Joseph Aidan Swash.
What is the birth name of Shana Swash?
Shana Swash's birth name is Shana Frances Swash.
Are Joe Swash and Shauna Swaash siblings?
Yes, Joe Swash and Shana Swash are siblings.
When was Rainbow Swash created?
Rainbow Swash was created in 1971.
What is a swash plate pump?
A swash plate is a way of going from rotary motion to linear motion without using a crankshaft. A swash plate pump is a piston pump that uses a swash plate instead of a crankshaft.
What is Joe Swash's birthday?
Joe Swash was born on January 20, 1982.
What is Shana Swash's birthday?
Shana Swash was born on July 28, 1990.
Who plays demi in eastenders?
Shana Swash who is joe swash (mickey miller) sister
What is the process that breaks down rocks and pebbles on a beach and bangs them together?
Attrition, caused by swash/uprush action at the splash zone .
