The differentiate between a prograded coastline and a retrograded coastline?
Prograded coastline is when water has withdrawn from parts of the land surfaces due to fall in a sea level to land and Retrograded coastline is a coast where sediment is deposited but still the shoreline is shifting landward.
Which end of barrier islands erodes?
Typically, the seaward end of barrier islands erodes due to the direct impact of waves, tides, and storms. This erosion can lead to changes in the shape and size of the island over time, as well as the formation of new landforms such as spits and inlets.
What is the differences between land breeze and sea breeze?
A "land breeze" results from a greater decrease in the temperature of the land (as at night), so that it flows seaward, where the air has stayed relatively warmer. A "sea breeze" is created by increased warming of the land (as on sunny days), and the rising warmer air draws in air from the sea (which does not increase as much in temperature).
What are the heavy waves caused by the hurricane called?
They are actually called a Storm Surge, and it is due to the low pressure associated with a hurruicane which causes a rise in sea surface level which is then whipped up by the strong hurricane force winds. (Rip tides, or rip currents, are strong surface currents flowing seaward from a shore in some places, and are not generally associated with hurricanes.)
What are cool breezes at night caused by differences in heating and cooling rate of land and water?
When land adjacent a water body heats up during a summer day it does so faster than the water so that there will be rising air above the heated land known as thermal lift. On a hot day a vacuum is thus created at ground level and replacement air must be drawn in at the surface and from the water body as well. The air being drawn in from the sea is called a onshore wind or 'seabreaze' At night when the land cools down, the air above the land mass will also cool down and in fact will begin a slow decent. At night then there will occur a land breeze as the cool descending air mass dissipates at ground level being pushed in every direction outwards. Some of that falling air will travel horizontally seaward toward the adjacent water body causing an 'offshore wind' and this occurs generally at night.

What is the birth name of John Seaward?

What marks the seaward edge of the continental shelf?
The seaward edge of the continental shelf is marked by the shelf break, which is the steep slope that descends from the continental shelf to the deep ocean floor. This is where the ocean depth abruptly increases, indicating the boundary between the continental shelf and the continental slope.
