Swash is produced by breaking ocean waves as they reach the shore. When these waves break, they create a rush of water that flows up the beach, known as swash, followed by the backwash that returns to the sea. The energy from the waves is transferred to the water, causing it to move in this rhythmic motion along the shoreline.
A constructive interference wave, where two waves combine to create a larger wave, can produce a swash stronger than the backwash. This can happen when the incoming waves are longer in wavelength and have a higher wave height, causing the swash to carry more water up the beach than the backwash can pull back down.
A swash is the rush of seawater up on the beach after the breaking of a wave.
a tide or a large surf wave
it's micro wave
water
When a wave breaks and rushes up the beach, it is called "swash."
Destructive waves happen when the backwash is stronger than the swash. =)
if you mean backwash (the opposite to swash) its the water of a wave travelling back down a beach, transporting beach material, due to gravitational forces :)
This phenomenon is called a "swash." It occurs when a wave moves up a beach or shore.
I don't know what you're asking as this is not phrased as a question. The swash zone is the part of a beach shore where the waves crash.
Light has the property of being an electromagnetic wave.
A constructive wave is a powerful wave that surges up the beach with a powerful swash. This is the forward movement of the wave up the beach. It has a weak backwash, which is the backward movement of water down a beach when a wave has broken. Characteristics are: .swash is stronger than the backwash. .Has a low gradient. .Has low energy. .Produces gentle beach profile .Other names are: storm, surfing or plunging waves. .Typical off the SW coast of the UK.
