How can rthe energy of waves traveling through water affect the shoreline?
Waves typically affect the shoreline by eroding it. Constant forces of water against the shore make it weak, and will break down the rocks over time. Waves also bring animals from the sea onto the shore,
What do waves breaking on a shoreline cause?
Erosion, maybe?
Do waves hit the shoreline at an angle?
Yes they do. Only very few waves hit the shore straight on.
Describes he behavior of waves when they strike a surface?
ultraviolet waves
How does the refraction cause wave crest to move the waves approach shore?
nearly parallel to the shoreline
When waves strike the shoreline they concentrate their energy on?
headland
How does the energy of ocean waves alter beaches and the shoreline?
It has caused the shoreline to erode.
How does energy from waves affect a shoreline?
Waves play a major role in building up and breaking down the shoreline. As waves break against a shoreline, rock is broken into sand.
How does wave energy impact the erosion of a rocks?
Waves slow down as they approach a shoreline. The first parts of the shoreline that waves meet are the headlands, or pieces of land that project into the water. The slowing waves bend toward the headlands, which concentrates the waves' energy. A huge amount of energy is released when waves crash into headlands, causing the land to erode.
How does wave energy impact the erosion of rock?
waves slow down as they approach the shoreline!
How can a energy of water affect a shoreline?
wind that results from summer hurricanes and severe winter storms makes large waves that cause dramatic shoreline erosion.
How do waves even out the shoreline?
Waves even out a shoreline by eroding it.The waves coming to shore gradually change direction, as different parts of the wave begins to drag the bottom.The energy of the wave is concentrated on headlands, part of the shore that sticks out into the ocean.As waves erode the headlands the shoreline will eventually even out.Tee Hee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ___------ -/---- ----\/--- --- \------------ ---- --

What is the effect of low energy waves on coasts?
The effect of low energy waves on coasts is to slowly errode the shoreline. This can dramatically change the landscape over even a short period of time.

What is the main idea of seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Focus
