This is a great question. It has to do with the ocean itself, and the ability of land to heat up much faster than water.

Thunderstorms rely on rising air to provide them with energy, even out ahead of them. Air rises most rapidly due to the land surface heating rapidly throughout the day, mostly just because warm air is less dense. But air tends to be much more stable near the coast, meaning it isn't prone to rising motion, because water does not generate nearly the same amount of heat above it as land. You may hear meteorologists refer to a "marine layer" on the coast, which is this shallow layer of cool, relatively stable air. When thunderstorms reach the marine layer, their mechanism for generating convection is weakened and they can very quickly dissipate.

What is the difference between th northern Coast and Southern Coast?

The northern coast is typically cooler with more rugged landscapes and rocky beaches, while the southern coast tends to have warmer temperatures, sandy beaches, and more developed tourist infrastructure. The northern coast may also experience more dramatic tides and rougher seas compared to the southern coast.


How do waves currents tides and storms affect on the geological features of the ocean shore zone?

Waves can erode shorelines by wearing down rocks and carrying sediment away. Currents can transport sediment along the coast, reshaping beaches and creating sandbars. Tides can cause erosion and deposition of sediment, influencing the shape of coastlines. Storms can lead to abrupt changes in the coastline through erosion, sediment transport, and flooding.


What are the storms from the nirth Atlantic?

Storms in the North Atlantic are often referred to as extratropical cyclones or winter storms. These storms can bring heavy rain, strong winds, and sometimes snow to regions along the east coast of North America and Europe. Some well-known storms in the North Atlantic include nor'easters and bomb cyclones.

What crashes into coastlines that causes weathering of cliffs and beaches?

Waves crashing against coastlines cause weathering of cliffs and beaches. The force of the waves erodes the rocks and sediments along the coast, leading to the formation of cliffs and shaping of beaches over time.

How do beaches form during winter and summer?

Beaches on the eastern coast of the United States experience higher and more intense storm activity during the winter than in the summer. As a result, sediment is carried seaward away from the foreshore. In the summer, when storm activity is low, sediment is transferred on shore.

How does erosion affect Sydney Australia?

Sydney Australia is totaly urbanised erosion is definitely not a problem.Correction:Sydney's beaches are at considerable risk of erosion from rising sea levels, and also from the wild storms known to lash the coast during the summer months. There are also numerous pockets of bushland near and around Sydney in which erosion becomes a problem after bushfires rage through the area, which they do with incredible frequency in summer. Bushfires denude the bushland of vegetation, which makes it that much more susceptible when the storms come.


Why should you have beaches?

By having beaches they reduce the amount of erosion occurring along the coast of an area. They are vital in protecting a coast line.m

An area of wave washed sediment along a coast is?

A beach is an area of wave-washed sediment along a coast. It typically consists of sand or pebbles that have been deposited by the action of waves and currents. Beaches are dynamic environments that can change in response to storms, tides, and other factors.
