What is a barrier sand bar?
# A ridge of sand formed in a river or along a shore by the action of waves or currents. # A long mass or low ridge of submerged or partially exposed sand built up in the water along a shore or beach by the action of waves or currents. -dictionary.com
What landform is built up by waves and currents?
Mountain
Sandy island that forms near the coast?
A sandbar is a temporary, underwater or exposed ridge of sand, gravel, or shell material that is built up by currents in a river or by waves on a beach. It typically forms near the coast and can disappear or change shape depending on tides and currents.
How does the sea?
The sea erodes its coasts, mostly by the violent process of waves action, in conjunction with tides and ocean currents.
What is a coastal bar?
A coastal bar is a submerged shore parallel embankment of sand or gravel built in the breaker zone due to the action of breaking waves and cross currents. These bars are very mobile and move a lot during storms.
How does the sea erode?
The sea erodes its coasts, mostly by the violent process of waves action, in conjunction with tides and ocean currents.
What makes a canyon and sandbars similar?
Sandbars and sand dunes are both sand piled on top of sand by the pressure of currents. Sandbars are accomplished by the action of water currents (waves). Sand dunes by air currents (wind).
What affects do water waves and currents have on beaches?
waves and currents make the shore bigger
Is a ocean lentic or lotic water?
It has to be Lotic, because of waves and currents.
How are currents different from waves?
Currents are a small source of water moving and waves are a bigger source of water moving. The waves are control (more or less made) by the wind where as the waves control and create the currents which is pretty strange. Currents are the one associated with the movement of water where as Waves carry only Energy i.e. NO mass transport
How does the concept of waves envelope impact the behavior of ocean currents?
The concept of waves influences ocean currents by transferring energy and momentum. Waves can cause surface currents to form, which can affect the movement of water in the ocean. The interaction between waves and currents can impact the behavior of ocean circulation patterns.
What happen when surface currents meet a continent?
you get waves not tidal waves or tsunami's! You just get waves. how big they get would depend on air currents and storms
