How do waves change as they approach the shore
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/11
As waves approach the shore, interaction with the sea floor
slows the waves down and the crests of the waves bunch up. They
increase in height as the energy in each wave compresses into a
shorter horizontal distance, but the period of the wave does not
change. Eventually, the waves break.

solar system
Material that is in orbit around a massive central body is an
accretion disk. This disk can eventually turn into a white dwarf
star.
An accretion disc may eventually form planets such as the ones
in our solar system.

Gas giants have a higher mass.

Terrestrial means on Earth so Earth is the only terrestrial
planet
This is incorrect, the first 4 planets are terrestrial as they
are solidly bound planets. Pluto was also a terrestrial dwarf
planet. Any planet can have moons but due to the gas giants having
larger gravitational forces they have traditionally gathered more
moons. Thusly, no.
