What else can I help you with?
What forces cause most ocean waves?
Area of ocean in which wind blows (fetch), wind velocity, and wind duration control the size of ocean waves.
What two things that cause ocean waves?
The moon and wind (created by the sun heating the air)
What changes are likely to happen when ocean waves meet with land?
It can cause a Tsunami a huge sea wave.
What is a giant ocean wave caused by an earthquake or a severe storm called?
A Tsunami, or tidal wave, or seismic sea wave may be caused by an earthquake. It is incorrect to refer to giant ocean waves caused by severe storms as tsunamis. Severe storms may cause giant ocean waves referred to as "Rogue Waves" - which are distinct from and NOT the same as Tsunamis.
What causes waves?
The MOON cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The MOON transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules.
What are sea cliffs?
Cliffs that are eroded by upward drafts of wind and ocean waves
Are ocean tides constructive?
no destructive they erode the land. In places that are flat like Florida there are no high waves but in California where there are cliffs the waves are higher.
Which process forms cliffs near the ocean?
The erosion process, often from wave action, forming sea cliffs near the ocean. Waves crashing against the coast wear away the land, leading to the creation of cliffs over time.
How sea caves form?
Sea caves form by ocean waves pounding at the base of seashore cliffs.
What waves have a motion that is similar to that of ocean waves?
Seismic waves, also known as ground waves, have a motion similar to ocean waves. They travel through the earth's crust and can cause the ground to shake, much like how ocean waves cause the water to move.
What crashes into coastlines that causes weathering of cliffs and beaches?
Waves crashing against coastlines cause weathering of cliffs and beaches. The force of the waves erodes the rocks and sediments along the coast, leading to the formation of cliffs and shaping of beaches over time.
Do waves in the ocean cause erosion but not deposition?
No
What agent of erosion causes ocean cliffs to erode?
The primary agent of erosion that causes ocean cliffs to erode is wave action. The force of waves, along with the corrosive effects of saltwater, gradually wears away the rock and soil of the cliffs over time. This process is known as coastal erosion.
What ocean waves cause when they carve out soft areas of a cliff?
deconstructive waves
How do you get ocean cliffs on super secret the game?
ocean cliffs is actually cavern falls!
What Waves cause erosion through the processes of and abrasion?
Ocean waves can cause erosion through two main processes: hydraulic action, where the force of the water breaks down rock and sediment, and abrasion, where particles carried by the waves wear down coastal features. These processes can lead to the formation of sea cliffs, sea caves, and other coastal landforms over time.
Are oceans constructive or destructive?
ocean waves are both, that's why you have different types of coasts - eg - cliffs, beaches from diffent types of erosion
