What to Focus On

  • Sea waves are undulations of sea water with crests and troughs.
  • Most waves are caused by friction of air on sea water.
  • In deep water, water particles move in circular paths, not forward.

  • Coast faces the sea.
  • Shore is in close contact with the sea.
  • Coastline is the boundary between coast and shore.

  • Wave erosion depends on wave strength, slope, tidal range, rocks, and water depth.
  • Surf waves can exert very high pressure on coastal rocks.
  • Hydraulic action breaks rocks by the force of crashing water.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Sea waves move water particles forward across the ocean.

Back-shore, fore-shore, off-shore, coast, and shore all mean the same thing.

Hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition, and solution are the same kind of erosion.

Memory Tips

Crest and trough of a wave
