What is a constructive wave?
A constructive wave is a powerful wave that surges up the beach with a powerful swash. This is the forward movement of the wave up the beach. It has a weak backwash, which is the backward movement of water down a beach when a wave has broken. Characteristics are: .swash is stronger than the backwash. .Has a low gradient. .Has low energy. .Produces gentle beach profile .Other names are: storm, surfing or plunging waves. .Typical off the SW coast of the UK.
A man is standing on the shore of a beach up to his knees in water Every 5 seconds a wave breaks on him What is the period of the wave?

What do people do when surfing?
When people, surf they bring a board into an ocean, or any body of water with waves. Then they paddle into the waves, and stand up. Once they stand up, they maneuver through the wave, and perform tricks. Once the wave is fully crashed, or no longer surfable, they get off the wave.
What are the causes and effects of beach erosion?
The main cause of beach erosion is large storms and hurricanes. With the high winds and the increased wave size, the water level rises up and washes away a portion of the beach. Over time, this can cause the beach to become smaller.
What is swash in geography?
A swash is the rush of seawater up on the beach after the breaking of a wave.
Why do pebbles go smaller the closer you are to the sea?
This is to do with tide patterns and percolation. A wave's swash (wave going up the beach) is very powerful and has enough power to carry large pebbles up the beach. However on a pebble beach, a lot of the waves energy is lost filling the gaps in the pebbles. All those small spaces mean the wave loses power and its backwash (wave going back down the beach) is much weaker than its swash. Only the smaller pebbles can be pulled back down the beach. This leaves the larger pebbles further up the beach.
How are tsunmais formed?
Under the ocean The plates were moving and moving for hundreds of years then finally one of the plates went up about 400ft, which caused an earthquake. That caused a one metre wave and the speed was 500 mph. As the wave started to approach shallow water the shallow water on the beach went way too far back. that made the wave slow down at the front but at the back of the wave the water was still travelling at 500 mph. That made the wave into a vertical wave. so from one metre it went ridiculously high.
What is so special about The Wedge in Newport Beach?
The Wedge in Newport Beach is a great surfing location that features waves up to 30 feet. The Wedge is special because an incoming wave will create another wave and the two waves will combine to create a huge wave.
Parts of water that don't move along with a wave?
Water does not move with a wave believe it or not. It moves up and down with the wave but a wave is just energy moving through something.
