What is water that moves up the beach in a wave flows back out to sea due to what?
The water that moves up the beach in a wave flows back out to sea due to gravity pulling it back towards the ocean. This process is known as backwash and it helps to reset the balance of water levels between the beach and the ocean.
What wave moves back and fourth?
A transverse wave moves back and forth, where the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Examples include light waves and water waves.
When light from air enters a body of water some of the energy moves back into air as a?
reflection.
What are three was water moves?
Water moves through the process of evaporation where it changes from liquid to gas, condensation where it changes from gas to liquid, and precipitation where it falls back to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
How do water vapor move?
Water vapor moves through the atmosphere by a process called evaporation, where liquid water turns into vapor due to heat energy from the sun. The water vapor then rises into the atmosphere and can be transported by wind currents, eventually condensing back into liquid form to form clouds or falling back to the ground as precipitation.

What are the 3 steps of a longshore current?
Wave energy moves water and sediment up the beach at an oblique angle. Gravity pulls the water and sediment back down the beach in a straight line. This creates a current that flows parallel to the shoreline, known as a longshore current.
How is the sand moved from beach to beach by waves?
As the waves move over the sand, they stir it up and some of it becomes entrained in the water. As the waves retreat, they take some sand with them. The water mixes out away from the beach with other water and then when it flows back up onto the beach, it doesn't land in quite the same place that it did the first time. On average, the water is moving in one direction parallel to the beach, so the entrained sand gradually moves in that direction too - thus sand bars migrate down rivers and ocean beach sand moves up the coast (or down depending on the prevailing currents).
What is a water current that moves sand in a zigzag pattern along a beach?
The water current that moves sand in a zigzag pattern along a beach is called a longshore current. It is caused by waves breaking at an angle to the shoreline, creating a flow of water parallel to the coast that carries sand particles in a back-and-forth motion.
Where does all water end up?
Water from rivers, lakes, and streams eventually flows into the oceans. Water also evaporates into the atmosphere, forming clouds and falling back to Earth as precipitation. This water cycle continuously moves water around the planet.
What is a rush of water that flows back to the sea?
A chicken
How does your water moves across the land?
Water moves across the land through a process called runoff, where it flows downhill due to gravity. It can also seep into the ground, a process known as infiltration, or be absorbed by plants and eventually evaporate back into the atmosphere. Rivers, streams, and lakes also help transport water across the land.
Why are the largest pebbles found at the back of the beach?
the pebbles at the front of the beach get eroded by the water
What pump moves hot water?
The pump that moves hot water through a hot water heater is the recirculation pump. This pump moves the water through the heater and back through the intake line.
How do baby sea-turtles get back to sea?
They are born on the beach, and they crawl down the beach to the water.
What moves most of the water on Earth?
The water cycle is what moves most of the water on Earth. The water that is on the Earth's surface evaporates and the winds moves it in the air. The water will then fall back as precipitation, such as rain or snow, onto the Earth.
How is sand on the beach affected by undertow?
Undertow causes the sand to be removed from the beach and carried back out into the water.
