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

Sea waves as the chief agent of gradation in coastal areas
