A breaker can crash into the ocean floor due to various factors, primarily related to wave dynamics and underwater topography. As waves travel and build up energy, they can become steep and unstable, leading to a breaking wave. When the wave reaches shallow water, the bottom friction causes it to slow down and steepen until it collapses, resulting in a breaker that crashes down onto the ocean floor. Additionally, strong currents or underwater features like reefs can exacerbate this process, causing waves to break more violently.
What else can I help you with?
A breaker forms as a result of friction from a trough passing over the ocean floor.?
true
How do satellite determine the terrain of the ocean floor?
they crash land and scan the bottom
What forms features on the ocean?
What causes ocean floor features to form
What causes the normal ocean waves that continuously crash the beach?
Mostly its wind.
What causes material to form at a mid-ocean ridge on the ocean floor?
New material forms on the ocean floor of the mid-ocean ridge due to plate tectonics and volcanic activity. Volcanic eruptions deposit cooled magma on the ocean floor.
An earthquake that causes a landslide under the ocean floor can trigger a?
tsunami
What can an earthquake that causes a landslide under the ocean floor trigger?
It can trigger a tsunami.
What causes the hot materials beneath ocean floor to move?
Convection currents.
When did they crash into the bligh reef?
On march 24, 1989, the Exxon Valdez grounded on the ocean floor, leading to an oil spill
What makes waves crash on the shore?
Waves crash on the shore when they approach shallow water, causing the wave height to increase and eventually break. This is due to the friction between the rising wave and the ocean floor, which slows down the bottom of the wave and causes the top to topple forward, forming a breaking wave.
What is directly related to deep ocean current?
Movement of the ocean, or tides are directly related to deep ocean currents. Deep ocean currents are also responsible for the wind that causes the waves to crash into the shore.
The primary source that causes the seafloor to spread and continents to drift?
In the middle of the ocean is a rift where the ocean floor squeezes out lava and pushes the ocean plates apart.
