Wave Erosion

Wave Erosion. As wind moves over the ocean, it produces waves and currents that erode the bordering land. Waves can also be produced by underwater earthquakes and the effect of the moon in producing tides.

Shoreline Features

Shoreline Features. Erosional Landforms. Wave refraction straight wave crests bend when in shallow water due to the decrease in wave speed. Shoreline Features. Erosion and removal of weaker rocks near sea level, produces sea stacks , sea arches , and sea caves.

How do we protect from longshore current erosion?

longshore current A current located in the surf zone, moving generally parallel to the shoreline, generated by waves breaking at an angle with the shoreline, also called the alongshore current. How do we protect from longshore current erosion?. How do we protect from longshore current erosion?.
