What else can I help you with?
Why do waves in a lake always appear to be moving toward the shore no matter where you stand on land?
Think about it. Its a lake. The waves have to move towards shore. The real answer is that boats that you dont see further out on the lake make waves that hit all sides of the lake and will travel the full length of the lake, no matter what size.
When performing a self rescue when should you start swimming towards shore?
You should never swim directly towards the shore. you should always swim diagnile towards it. helping the waves push you in. your welcome, Jeff wright
When waves tend to become parallel to the shore the process is called what?
When waves tend to become parallel to the shore, it is called wave refraction. This occurs as waves change direction and bend towards the shore due to variations in water depth, causing them to align parallel to the shoreline.
I need another way of saying waves crashing in the shore?
The waves pounding against the shoreline. The waves colliding with the shore. The waves breaking upon the beach.
Why do waves change direction as they approach shore?
Waves change direction as they approach shore due to the shallowing of water depth. This causes the wave to slow down and bend towards shallower areas. This process is known as wave refraction.
Water is moved toward shore by a wave true or false?
True. Waves carry water towards the shore by transporting energy from the open ocean to the coastal areas.
Why do barrier islands run parellel to the shore?
Barrier islands form parallel to the shore due to longshore currents transporting sediments along the coast. These currents deposit sediment further away from the mainland, leading to the gradual formation of barrier islands. Over time, the islands stabilize and provide protection to the mainland from waves and storms.
What is an alliteration for waves crasing against the sea shore?
Whispering waves washing the shore.
What is the frequency of the waves traveling to the shore if six waves reach the shore in 30 seconds?
The frequency of the waves is 0.20 HZ.
Near shore crest shaped waves are called what?
Near shore crest shaped waves are called "plunging waves." These waves are characterized by a curling crest that breaks forward as the wave approaches the shore.
A wave can make a leaf bob up and down on the water but it cannot move the leaf towards the shore. This is because waves only transfer?
energy and not matter. The wave's energy causes the leaf to move up and down, but it does not carry the leaf with it towards the shore.
Is long shore drift evidence of constructive or destructive waves?
Longshore drift is evidence of constructive waves. Constructive waves carry and deposit sediment along the coastline, resulting in the movement of sand and material parallel to the shore. This process helps build up beaches and create landforms such as spits and barrier islands.
