Large waves are able to remove more large chunks of rock from a shoreline then average sized waves due to their sheer force. Larger waves are more powerful and are usually a culprit for shoreline erosion.

Why are large waves able to remove large chunks of rock from a shoreline than an average wave?

The large waves has a giant ship on it so that the waves could move the large chunk of rocks Answer When the large wave stirkes the rock, the wave recedes back to the sea taking with it all of the smaller pebbles and sand that support the large rock. If the weight of the water in the wave behind the rock exceeds that of the rock it will take the rock with it. Given time the rock will tumble as the smaller waves take away the supporting material.
