Ocean waves= either tidal pull of the moon, tectonic activity, or wind
waves like earthquakes?= tectonic plates either converging or diverging.
They get wet. They also slowly wear down or erode.
Abrasion: Waves carry sediments that collide with and wear down rocks. Hydraulic action: Waves exert pressure on cracks in rocks, causing them to weaken and break apart. Corrosion: Chemical reactions between seawater and rocks dissolve minerals, leading to erosion.
Smooth rocks on a beach are often the result of continuous erosion caused by water and sand rubbing against the rocks over time. The motion of waves can wear down the rough edges of the rocks, making them smooth.
Bombshell Rocks was created in 1995.
Beyond the Rocks was created in 1906.
Waves can erode rocks by breaking them down into smaller particles through the process of abrasion. The constant force of waves crashing against rocks can also weaken and break them apart over time. Additionally, the continuous movement of waves can cause rocks to be shifted and repositioned along a shoreline.
Seismic waves.
Primary waves (p waves)
waves and rocks
It is breaks
Shearing is the force that pushes rocks from different but not opposite directions. Secondary waves, S waves are all names for the shearing.
P waves
the
it what ways do people contribute to the breaking down of rocks
Hydraulic action: the force of the waves breaking against the shore dislodges rocks and material. Abrasion: waves carry sediments that scrape and erode the coastline. Attrition: rocks and sediments carried by waves collide and wear down each other. Solution: waves can dissolve certain types of rocks and minerals on the coast.
wistful waves
depending on the rock. sedimentary rocks are formed under water and may have water wave ripples. metamorphic rock has been pressed into waves. igneous rocks flowed in waves
