There are 2 ways. One way is when large waves have a backwash that is stronger than the swash. The stronger backwash causes more materials to be removed from the beach instead of being deposited. The other way is when there is a storm, strong winds produce large waves which pound against the coast and remove large amounts of materials from it.

What is the most destructive earthquake wave?
tsunami
Is a seismic wave a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake as elastic strain is released?
Secondary wave (s wave )
Can a tsunami hit ocenside beach?
Tsunami is a wave of water (usually produced by an earthquake in the ocean). You can only get tsunamis from the water and therefore a beach is next to water........ so yes.
When a tsunami hits the shore it can be very destructive because of its?
Wave height, ocean motion chapter in science text
What do tsunamis sound like?
an earthquake doesnt have a sound. its what it shakes and makes noise is the earth quake. THUS EARTH AND QUAKE if you go underground when an earthquake happens its just like someone shaking a box of rice
What are large waves produced by earthquakes?

What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?
A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
When would a tsunamic occur?
A tsunami is an ocean wave that is caused by an earthquake. It would occur after an earthquake.
What destructive event can be triggered by an earthquake?
seiemic vibrations, s and p wave and the tectonic plate boundaries
Is a tsunami an earthquake?
No. A tsunami is a giant ocean wave. A tsunami can be caused by an earthquake, but they are completely different things.
