What effect does waves and currents have on shorelines?

wave direction at sea is determined by the wind,waves usually roll toward shore at an angle.But as thhey touch bottom,the shallower water slows the shoreward side of the wave first.The rows of waves gradually turn and become more nearly parallel to the shore.


How can tides pull you out to sea?

An ebbing tide is when sea water is moving away from the shore after a high tide. Large waves crashing and flowing up the beach flows back into the sea. This backwards flow is often strong enough to sweep swimmers out to sea. An off-shore wind is capable of blowing children's inflatables and beach balls out to sea.


What causes riptide?

When wind and waves push water toward the shore, water is often forced sideways by the oncomin waves. The water streams along the shore until it finds its way back to an open sea or lake a riptide can usually narrow and in a trench between sandbars, under piers and sometimes along jetties.

What happen before tidal waves?

Before tidal waves, underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides can trigger the displacement of large amounts of water, resulting in the formation of a tidal wave. This sudden displacement of water creates a wave that propagates through the ocean, eventually reaching shore.


How are waves formed and how do they shape coastal areas?

Waves are formed by wind blowing across the surface of the water, creating ripples that develop into waves. When waves approach the shore, they interact with the coastline, shaping it through erosion and deposition. Stronger waves can erode cliffs and create sea caves, while deposition of sediment from waves can form beaches and sandbars.

Do waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather?

The statement that "waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather" is not accurate. The frequency of waves hitting the shore can vary depending on factors such as wind conditions, tides, and the geography of the coastline. Waves are not constant and can change in frequency and intensity.

How do wave change as they apporch the shore?

As waves approach the shore, their height increases, and their speed decreases due to the interaction with the sea floor. The wave crests become steeper and eventually break as the waves approach the shallow water near the shore.

Why do we see the surf only when the sea water reaches the shore or the waves break at the coast though the sea water is almost colorless?

When waves break they tend to trap air bubbles and form a short-lived foam. These bubbles reflect light and therefore be seen. This applies on open sea and not just at shore or coastline.
