The amount of accumulated energy in a given volume of the water is constant. (ignoring evaporative and friction losses.)
As the water body diminishes in depth, this kinetic energy has to go somewhere. It does this by increasing the height of the water, and as a result, speeding up the passage.
The given volume of the water is being squeezed into a smaller space as the sea floor slopes up.
The above refer to the wave wash up region - typically on a beach.
They eventually get smaller and smaller but appear to be higher and crash harder.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ___------ -/---- ----\/--- --- \------------ ---- --
Waves are formed from wind and other disturbances in far out water as they get closer to shore the have less water to move and so they are moved upward where the reach their crest and hit the shore. They can easily move sand and rock. They also make sand by crushing up seashells and other debris on the shore. Their biggest force though is erosion. Meaning they wear away at the shore.
The body of water that did not reach greek shore is the Atlantic ocean.
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
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.
The frequency of the waves is 0.20 HZ.
The frequency is 720Hz
u call them turds
No
Waves constantly change the look of the shore, but you can stop the waves from moving the sand by creating a rock wall, however this will effect the shore furthur up
Of course it can. That is why some waves don't reach the shore.
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.
refraction
The waves pounding against the shoreline. The waves colliding with the shore. The waves breaking upon the beach.
Waves hit the shore many times per minute, but it varies so greatly. The wind changing can result in a change of this number. Any storms out in the ocean can change it as well.
