What are the 3 ways in which waves erode rocks?
Waves erode rocks primarily through hydraulic action, abrasion, and solution. Hydraulic action occurs when waves crash against rocks, creating pressure that can fracture them. Abrasion involves the grinding action of sediment and rocks carried by waves, which wear down surfaces over time. Solution occurs when seawater chemically reacts with minerals in the rocks, dissolving them and contributing to erosion.
What do you think happens s when waves hit rocks along the coastline?
They get wet. They also slowly wear down or erode.
What are 3 ways that waves erode rock?
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.
Why might you find smooth rocks on a beach?
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.
What Type of seismic wave that travels the fastest through rock material by causing rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves?
Primary (P) waves are the fastest seismic waves that travel through rock material by causing rocks to vibrate in the same direction as the waves. P waves are able to travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
How do do waves affect rocks?
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.
Waves that carry energy through earth rocks are called?
Seismic waves.
Shearing seismic waves that move rocks and other matter in a direction perpendicular to the waves are traveling?
Primary waves (p waves)
What forces push on rocks from not different but opposite directions?
Shearing is the force that pushes rocks from different but not opposite directions. Secondary waves, S waves are all names for the shearing.

How do fossils form by water?
waves and rocks
What are sea waves that break on rocks?
It is breaks
Which seismic waves compress and expand rocks in the direction the wave travel?
P waves
What are compressional waves that move rocks and other matter in the same direction as the waves travel?
the
What are the four causes that waves cause erosion?
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.
How do waves breaks down the rocks?
it what ways do people contribute to the breaking down of rocks
What is an alliteration for the sound of waves crashing against the rocky sea shore?
wistful waves
