Why don't longshore currents form in places where waves hit the shore head-on?
Long-shore currents don't form in places where waves hit the shore head-on because the sand is moving in a zigzag pattern, making it at an angle.
Can electromagnetic spectrum waves travel through air?
Yes. Electromagnetic spectrum waves reach your eye through the air.
If you see an ocean wave hit the beach every 8 seconds what is its frequency?
1 wave / 8 seconds = 0.125 waves per second
Shorter electromagnetic waves which reach the earth include gamma rays x rays and ultraviolet rays?
true
How does sound waves travel through a material?
Sound waves travel through a material via VIBRATION. When sound waves hit an object at one end, the object's molecules at that end starts vibrating and during this vibratory motion they transfer their energy to neighboring atoms, hence cause a chain vibration and ultimately the waves reach at the other end.
What is the frequency of the waves traveling to the shore if six waves reach the shore in 30 seconds?
The frequency of the waves is 0.20 HZ.
Ben counts the number of waves traveling to the shore. six waves reach the shore in 30 seconds. what is the frequency of the wave?
The frequency is 720Hz
What is the name of big waves that turn into foam when they reach the shore?
u call them turds
Can breakers form before the wave approaches the beach?
Of course it can. That is why some waves don't reach the shore.
Why do waves increase in height as they reach the shore?
There is a circular current inside the waves and as they come closer to the shore the previous wave is pulled up into it and this gives the initial wave more height because they are now fused.
What process is termed When waves reach shallow water they are often bent and tend to become parallel to the shore?
refraction

How do starfish survive big waves?
Starfish spend most of their time in deep water. This means they're well out of the reach of the effects of waves breaking on the shore. If they ARE 'caught' by waves - their only option is to 'go with the flow' !
What is transferred to the beach when waves hit the shore?
When waves hit the shore it transfers energy.
How are waves fored and how do they shape coastal areas?
Waves are formed from wind and other disturbances in far out water as they get closer to shore the have less water to move and so they are moved upward where the reach their crest and hit the shore. They can easily move sand and rock. They also make sand by crushing up seashells and other debris on the shore. Their biggest force though is erosion. Meaning they wear away at the shore.
From which direction does the waves arrive at beach?
It depends on the wind direction. The waves may be straight on to the shore, or hit the shore at an angle.
