How do waves change as they approach the shore

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.

Which rocks are formed by the alteration of pre-existing rocks by great heat or pressure

Metamorphic rocks.

Are mushroom rocks formed by erosion or deposition

Erosion

What situation involves shear

Frequent shallow earthquakes.

Which field of study would be most useful to a person who wants to learn about the effects of new building projects on native species

Ecology

Which process is a form of mechanical weathering

Abrasion

What material are you most likely to find in the D horizon

Bedrock

Is magnesium sulfate formed by tectonic plate movement or volcanic eruptions

It would most likely form from hydrothermal activity related to a volcano.

What causes ocean water near the equator to be warmer than ocean water farther north
