The reason they change direction near shore is because the density of objects increase!
because stupid things happen
the distance between crests decreases
They change direction because of the density of objects.

The compass needle is magnetic so if you place a magnet near the compass, the needle will change direction either attracting or reppeling.
Yes. By definition, surface waves will travel at or near the surface of a medium. Only electromagnetic waves (light, radio, & etc) can travel through a vacuum.
They are usually higher than average waves near shore..

Two kinds of currents that wave action can cause near shore are "Longshore Current", which is the overall direction and movement of the waves that strike the shore at an angle. The other kind of current is "Rip Currents", which are narrow streams of water that break through sandbars and drain rapidly back to sea.

It is a process known as shoaling. When waves feel the bottom they slow down and decrease their wavelength but the period of the waves does not change. The height of the wave will steadily increase until the wave becomes unstable and breaks near the beach.
Water can have a big impact on cities that are near the coast. Waves and tides hit the shore, overtime, the shore will erode,causing enviromental problems. Glaciers also affect landform. Huge glaciers that push against the land leaves marks, such as drumlins. Drumlins are teardrop shaped mounds left behind by a glacier, the direction it is pointing in is where the glacier is traveling towards.
Hurricanes do produce rip tides, but rip tides are not waves. They are strong currents near the shore that take water and anyone caught in them out to sea.
yes bacteria does live near the shore
Become faster the distance between two wave peaks become smaller
What are two kinds of near shore currents
