Wave action describes the 'behaviour' of the waves. Waves can either be constructive or descrutive. Constructive waves act to build up the beach, this occures when more sediment( sand) is deposited onto the beach and less( sediment) is removed with the receding waves. Destructive waves are the opposite of constructive waves, this is when more sediment is removed than is deposited onto the beach.
What else can I help you with?
What wave vibrates parallel to the wave motion?
A transverse wave vibrates perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
What do you call the motion of a wave?
A wave has cyclic motion - that is it repeats the motion many times, almost without variation.
What is a direction that a mechanical wave can displace its medium?
Both parallel and perpendicular to the motion of the wave at the same time/Perpendicular to the motion of the wave/Parallel to the motion of the wave - APEXPerpendicular to the motion of the wave.Parallel to the motion of the wave.Both parallel and pependicular to the motion of the wave at the same time.
How does the motion of a plane wave differ from the motion of a circular wave?
A plane wave is characterized by flat wavefronts that travel in a single direction, while a circular wave has wavefronts that move outward in all directions from a central point. The motion of a plane wave is linear and uniform, whereas the motion of a circular wave is radial and diverging.
What is the motion of particles or floating objects on the surface of the water wave?
Particles or floating objects on the surface of a water wave move in a circular motion as the wave passes beneath them. This circular motion is a combination of the wave's horizontal movement and the vertical oscillation of the particle due to the wave's up and down motion.
What wave vibrates parallel to the wave motion?
A transverse wave vibrates perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
How does the motion of a wave change?
the motion of a wave changes when it moves

When was Wave Motion - journal - created?
Wave Motion - journal - was created in 1979.

Wave motion perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving is?
a transverse wave
What is the media motion of a surface wave?
The media motion of a surface wave consists of particles in the medium moving in a circular or elliptical motion. As the wave passes through a medium boundary, the motion of the particles is a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motion. This unique motion causes the surface wave to travel along the boundary of the two mediums.
What are three types of a mechanical wave?
There are three general types of mechanical waves: – Transverse – particle motion is perpendicular to wave motion. – Longitudinal – particle motion is in the same direction as wave motion. – Combined – sea waves.
What motion does a circular wave travel in?
Circular Motion
What is a wave called in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave?
A wave where the medium vibrates perpendicular to the motion of the wave is called a transverse wave. Examples include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
