Larger waves will pack more of a mechanical 'punch' than smaller waves, carrying and delivering more erosive energy.

Is wave erosion the same as coastal erosion?
Wave erosion is when ocean waves move sediments and erode the ocean floor.Coastal erosion is when ocean waves generate currents, and when in comes into contact with land, it erodes the land.
How do tsunamis affect erosion?
A tsunami is a large wave and acts upon the coastal margin in the same way that a wave would but at an escalated level of erosion. So, more material will be carried away by the wave and greater destruction will occur. The tsunami is a short-term phenomenon.
What are 4 factors that affect a wave's rate of erosion?
Erosion,weathuring,andclimate
Where does sand from wave erosion go?
Any where
What are some words associated with wind erosion?
abrasion deflation loess wind erosion wave
What issues might the coastal resort of swanage have?
erosion. deposition. transportation. hydraulic action erosion (wave erosion). abrasion erosion (wave erosion).
What landforms are created by water erosion?
The 3 landforms created by wave erosion sometimes called coastal erosion are headlands and bays, cliffs and wave cut platforms and finally caves, arches, stacks and stumps. Wave erosion is the wearing away of land and the removal of beach by wave currents.
Costal features erosion?
Coastal erosion is when land is starting to wash away. This is when water wave began to wash away the beaches.
Is wave erosion the same as coastal erosion?

How is coast formed?
coastal erosion is the wearing away of land or the removal beach or dune sediments by wave action, tidal currents , wave currents, or drainaige. On rocky coasts, coastal erosiom can results in an horrific / dramatic rock formations in areas where the coastline contains rock layer or frature plales with varieng resistance to erosion.

How many causes of erosions are there?
there are four types of erosion. wind, water , ice, and wave erosion. the most important one is gravity.

What landform forms on coral reefs as a result of wave action?
Coastal erosion is the wearing away of land or the removal of beach or dune sediments by wave action, tidal currents, wave currents, or drainage (see also beach evolution).
Is a river erosion faster than a wave erosion?
It depends how fast the wave and river speed are.
Are Fiords are formed through wave erosion?
Yes fiords are formed through wave erosion. A sea arch is also formed through wave erosion. Other things that can be formed through erosion are canyons, cliffs, and caves.
What effect does a seawall have on erosion?
It reduces erosion by decreasing wave energy.
