What is the zigzag motion that carries sand grains along a beach known as?
Longshore drift. Please see the related link.
Is a part of a wave that folds over when it drags along the beach?
As the momentum of the wave moves towards the shallow shore, the bottom slows due to friction with the seabed, while the top keeps moving. Eventually, the top of the wave curls over in a crest, that breaks on to the beach.
How light is radiated?
Light can be considered as a small packet of energy (a quantum) called a "photon" carried along a wave or ripple in space-time, rather like a beach ball carried along in the trough of a wave across a body of water. A more detailed explanation requires an understanding of quantum mechanics.
When was Beach Ball Bounce created?
Beach Ball Bounce was created in 2007.
Which property of air keeps a beach ball inflated?
The type of air that keeps a beach ball inflated is kinetic energy.
What is a water current that moves sand in a zigzag pattern along a beach?
Longshore Current..
The zigzag movement of sand grains along a beach is?
Beach Drift
Beach drift is the movement of sand down a beach in a?
zigzag pattern
What do you call the zigzag movement of pebbles along the beach by waves?
Longshore Drift
Is longshore drift the cause or the effect of a longshore current explain?
effect. longshore drift is the combined effect of sediments moved by longshore currents and and beach drift. longshore currents are ocean currents that flow parallel to the coast while beach drift is the resultant zigzag movement along the beach.

What is a current that moves sand in a zigzagging pattern along a beach?
it is the water currents dragging in seaweed plants and other things.
How do you use the word along the beach in a sentence?
"He walked along the beach."
What effect does a long shore current have?
it carries sand / sediment along the beach to another point often causing a spit or bar.
What is the prepositional phrases in the following sentence as I walked along the beach I saw a couple playing Frisbee with their children?
The prepositional phrase is "as you walked along the beach".
What is the difference between a bar and a spit?
A bar develops by the process of Longshore drift,which occurs due to waves meeting at the beach at an angle and backwashing perpendicular to the shore, moving sediment down the beach on a zigzag pattern. A spit is a deposition landform found off coasts. At one end, spits connect to land and extend into the sea.
What is longshore drift?
How sand and other materials are carried parallel to the shore by the waves. The waves approach the beach at an angle.Longshore drift is the movement of sediment along the coastline.Longshore drift is the transport of erosion sands along a shoreline by the current flowing along it.
