The steep-shore zone is where waves collide with cliffs and rocks. It's not where a flat beach is at and where everyone is taking the sun. It's kind of like water hitting a small cliff at the very bottom where they both meet. Then again, it's hitting something steep.

The open ocean of any depth is called?

The open ocean of any depth is called the pelagic zone. This zone encompasses all the water in the ocean that is not near the shore or the ocean floor. Within the pelagic zone, there are different regions based on depth and light penetration, such as the epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, and abyssopelagic zones.


What is the differences between shoreline and longshore current?

Shoreline current refers to the movement of water parallel to the shore, influenced mainly by tides and waves. Longshore current, on the other hand, is a specific type of shoreline current that moves parallel to the shore within the surf zone, transporting sediment along the coast.


Why are large pebbles near shore?

Large pebbles near the shore are typically deposited by wave action. As waves hit the shore, they can pick up and transport larger rocks and pebbles, eventually depositing them closer to the shore. The size of the pebbles also helps to protect the shore from erosion by dissipating the energy of the waves.
