What is a constructive coastline?
A constructive coastline is a type of coastline where deposition of sediments exceeds erosion, resulting in the gradual buildup of land. This can lead to the formation of features such as beaches, spits, and barrier islands.
How does refraction tend to even out an irregular coastline?
Refraction tends to even out an irregular coastline by causing waves to bend as they approach shallow areas. This bending of the waves redistributes the wave energy along the coastline, smoothing out irregularities by depositing sediment in some areas and eroding others. Over time, this process helps to create a more uniform coastal shape.
What is the cause of waves piling up the Sand along the coastline to form a narrow island called?
it is a lagoon
What do you think happens s when waves hit rocks along the coastline?
They get wet. They also slowly wear down or erode.
How does water erode the shorelines?
As water hits the coastline it slowly takes dirt and sediments back into the ocean with it causing the erosion process. Also if it rains and water runs off the coastline it is able to carry sediments that way.
Is there airflow under the sea?
yes.weathering and erosion can happen anywhere, even under the ocean. and also all of the sand on the coastline can be washed into the ocean by waves.
What are two processes cause waves to erode a coastline?
Two processes that cause waves to erode a coastline are hydraulic action, which is the force of the water itself against the coastline, and abrasion, which is the wearing away of the coastline by the material carried by the waves.
How waves shape the coastline?
by erosion
What is the most likely source of the waves approaching the coastline?
The most likely source of waves approaching the coastline is either wind blowing over the surface of the water (wind waves) or seismic activity like earthquakes or underwater landslides (tsunamis). These processes can generate waves that travel across the ocean and eventually reach the coastline.

How do crabs get washed back up to shore?
By waves
What agent of erosion only affects locations along a coastline?
Waves
How long can tsunami waves travel?
Some tsunami waves have travelled most of the way around the world, and have destroyed coastline thousands of kilometres from their origin.
What is an alliteration for the sound of waves crashing against the rocky sea shore?
wistful waves
Do waves hit the shoreline at an angle?
Yes, waves typically hit the shoreline at an angle due to the curvature of the coastline and the oblique angle at which they approach. This angle can vary depending on factors such as the direction of the prevailing winds and the shape of the coastline. The angle at which waves hit the shoreline can impact erosion and sediment transport processes.
