Heavy waves caused by hurricanes are not called rip tides. Waves causes by hurricanes are called waves. Rip tides are occur closer to the shore line.
There is a circular current inside the waves and as they come closer to the shore the previous wave is pulled up into it and this gives the initial wave more height because they are now fused.
The waves begin to interact with the ocean floor. The same mass of water runs into shallower and shallower water making the height of the wave increase.

Basically, the intertidal zone is the area on the shore which is underwater during the high tide but exposed to the air during a low tide.
Both the statue in Copenhagen and Vancouver have been closer to the shore, never farther, as the land in both places is rising.
WHEN THE OCEAN WASHES farther up on shore
Yes, water is hotter when it is closer to the shore because it is more shallow and greater surface area for the sun to heat up.
Yes it is known as The Farther Shore
It increases because it gets closer to shore. At the core of an earthquake, it shakes a lot but not that much so it has strong waves. But, the farther you go (not too far) the stronger the waves are.
i think yes
The wave could appear quite small out in the open ocean. Friction with the shallowing seabed near the shore causes the bottom of the wave to slow, while the top of the wave continues on, gaining height. It is the momentum, volume and power held in the wave that drives the wave up on to the land until the power is dissipated and the wave flows back to the sea. As the wave moves over and backwards it picks up anything not substantial enough to remain rooted to the land. Cars, boats, etc are used as battering-rams causing even more destruction.

An average About 150 ft depending how big the swell is. If the swell is bigger the crest is further out and if its smaller the crest is closer to shore
When the wave approach the coastline, the height of the wave changes because of the density in the water between the top of the breaker and the sand .So when the wave gets closer to the shore it gets smaller in till it tumbles over.
The temperature of the neritic zone is warm but gets colder the farther you move away from the shore.
Its is called a Tsunami.
