How are pebble beaches formed?

Beaches composed of pebbles and other larger materials are usually described as intermediate or reflective beaches. They usually have a steep offshore slope and are narrow and steep in relief. Waves are either 'collapsing' or 'surging' in character with a strong swash and weak backwash. Hence larger pebble material is driven onshore under a strong swash and then deposited as the backwash is too weak to remove it. Also, on pebble beaches quite a bit of energy in the backwash will be lost via percolation (usually 33-50%) which further weakens the backwash.


What is the destructive ocean wave produced by an earthquake?

There are 2 ways. One way is when large waves have a backwash that is stronger than the swash. The stronger backwash causes more materials to be removed from the beach instead of being deposited. The other way is when there is a storm, strong winds produce large waves which pound against the coast and remove large amounts of materials from it.


What is a constructive 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.
