How might waves be harmful to the seashore?
They might cause erosion.
What are 2 forces through which ocean waves cause erosion?
Two sources of energy for water waves are kinetic energy and potential energy. Any kind of disruption may cause a water wave.
What are 2 ways that waves erode land?
One way waves cause erosion is by forcing pressurized water and compressed air into cracks in the rocks. This causes the cracks to widen and pieces of the material to break off, bit by bit. Waves also cause abrasion when they cause particles move against one another or against the bedrock.
Are waves a major force of erosion along coasts?
Yes waves are a major force of erosion along coasts your answer would be true :)
How does water erosion form?
Erosion caused by waves is known as Hydraulic Action, which mostly consists of air bubbles being forced into cracks in rocks. Waves also cause abrasion whereby material transported in the wave collides at speed with a rock face, wearing it away. Wave erosion is a type of marine erosion.
Waves cause erosion by impact and what?
Type your answer here... By deflation and abrasion.
What is a way waves cause erosion?
A way waves cause erosion: waves wear away the land and erode the surface.
What are two ways which waves cause erosion?
The two ways in which waves cause erosion are deflation and abrasion.
How can waves cause erosion?
Waves can wash away the beaches.
Do waves in the ocean cause erosion but not deposition?
No
How can waves cause erosion and impact?
Well, the impact is very strong. A lot of water together is harder than cement. If somebody falls out of a plane, and lands on the water sideways, the impact can kill the person.
Can waves cause erosion?
waves containing acid eat away at substances
What do waves breaking on a shoreline cause?
Erosion, maybe?
How do beach waves impact on living things?
waves impact living things by the constant erosion of the water on the gravel either creating or destroying habitats.
How are waves involved in erosion?
Yes they are because the impact of the waves erodes the object to a size. The harder the waves the easier and faster the land will erode
What are two results in which waves cause erosion?
abrasion and corrosion ?
What do rivers glaciers wind and waves cause?
Weathering and Erosion.
