This phenomenon is called a "swash." It occurs when a wave moves up a beach or shore.
What is swash in geography?

Water that moves up the beach in a wave flows back out to sea due to?
gravity pulling it back towards the ocean as the wave recedes.
What is water that moves up the beach in a wave flows back out to sea due to what?
The water that moves up the beach in a wave flows back out to sea due to gravity pulling it back towards the ocean. This process is known as backwash and it helps to reset the balance of water levels between the beach and the ocean.
When a wave breaks and rushes up the beach what is it called?
When a wave breaks and rushes up the beach, it is called "swash."
What happens to waves as they approach the shore line?
As waves approach the shoreline, their speed decreases due to friction with the seabed. This causes the waves to steepen and increase in height, leading to the wave breaking as it reaches the shore. The energy of the wave is dissipated, resulting in the water rushing up the beach before flowing back into the ocean.
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.
What happens when a wave hits the coast?
When a wave hits the coast, it will break due to the shallowing of the water. The energy in the wave will be dissipated as the wave breaks, causing the water to surge up the beach. This can lead to erosion of the coast and the movement of sediment along the shoreline.
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?
period = reciprocal of frequency = 1/5 = 0.2 seconds
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.
