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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ___------ -/---- ----\/--- --- \------------ ---- --
Which of the following is a way in which erosion and deposition affect the oceans?
By forcing water into cracks in the rocks at the shoreline. And in Deposition, waves carry large amounts of sand, rock particles and pieces of shell.
How does wave energy impact the erosion of a rocks?
Waves slow down as they approach a shoreline. The first parts of the shoreline that waves meet are the headlands, or pieces of land that project into the water. The slowing waves bend toward the headlands, which concentrates the waves' energy. A huge amount of energy is released when waves crash into headlands, causing the land to erode.
What helps shape the shoreline?
The shoreline is created by the sea itself. After thousands of years of crashing waves, the shore surely but slowly gets shaped. this is also known as erosion
How does the process of erosion affect Florida beach?
Florida's shoreline is constantly changing
How does energy from waves affect a shoreline?
Waves play a major role in building up and breaking down the shoreline. As waves break against a shoreline, rock is broken into sand.
How can the energy of waves traveling through water affect the shoreline?
Waves typically affect the shoreline by eroding it. Constant forces of water against the shore make it weak, and will break down the rocks over time. Waves also bring animals from the sea onto the shore,

How can a energy of water affect a shoreline?
wind that results from summer hurricanes and severe winter storms makes large waves that cause dramatic shoreline erosion.
How do waves deposits affect a shoreline?
It forms a beach.

How could the type of shoreline affect the types of sediment you find there?
Rocky shorelines have rocks and cliffs, so when the waves crash against the rock fragments and sediments are formed along the shoreline.
How could the type of shoreline affect the types of sediments you might find there?
Rocky shorelines have rocks and cliffs, so when the waves crash against the rock fragments and sediments are formed along the shoreline.
How does the energy of ocean waves alter beaches and the shoreline?
It has caused the shoreline to erode.
Why large waves are more able to remove large chumks of rock from a shoreline than average sized waves are?
Large waves are able to remove more large chunks of rock from a shoreline then average sized waves due to their sheer force. Larger waves are more powerful and are usually a culprit for shoreline erosion.
