it is erosion...if you are taking the boating exam try typing the Arizona course boat ED after every question you type, in Google is what i used if your state is not Arizona then just type you state in. it brings you to the page you can find the answer....

Why should you avoid opperating your motorboat or pwc above no wake speed near shore....the Arizona course boat ED.
It works pretty good ive got about 75 % of my answers this way still might take a while but it works good luck good luck!
You should avoid operating your motorboat or pwc above no wake speed near the shore because engine efficiency is reduced.
It causes erosion
Do everything possible to avoid it. The motorboat operator would give way if boat is under sail but go by regular motorboat rules if he is under power.
You should take action to avoid a collision.
When a motorboat is crossing paths with a Personal Watercraft (PWC), the motorboat should take action to avoid a collision, as PWCs are generally considered "give way" vessels. The motorboat should slow down, steer clear, and ensure it has a safe distance from the PWC. Additionally, the operator of the motorboat should maintain a lookout and be aware of the PWC's movements to prevent any accidents. Safety and communication are key in such interactions on the water.
If you are operating a motorboat that is being overtaken, you should maintain your course and speed to avoid confusion. The overtaking vessel is responsible for ensuring a safe pass. Always keep a lookout for the overtaking boat and be prepared to make adjustments if necessary for safety. If required, communicate with the other vessel to confirm intentions.
Vary the opperating area and avoid repeating the same manuever

All of the above are correct
When a motorboat and a personal watercraft (PWC) are meeting head-on, the motorboat is typically considered the stand-on vessel. According to maritime navigation rules, the stand-on vessel is the one that must maintain its course and speed, while the give-way vessel (in this case, the PWC) must take action to avoid a collision. Therefore, the PWC should alter its course to ensure a safe passage.
The sailboat is the give-way vessel when both the sailboat and the motorboat are underway and the motorboat is on a course that may result in a collision. According to the navigation rules, a sailing vessel under sail alone must give way to a power-driven vessel. Additionally, if the sailboat is overtaking the motorboat, it must also give way. In all other situations, the sailboat typically maintains its course and speed, while the motorboat is required to avoid a collision.
