How are sand and gravel particles moved along the ocean bottom?
Sand is gradually carried down the beach by Longshore Drift.
What is the actual movement of a particle being carried by a waveform toward shore?
As the waveform approaches the shore, the particle will experience a circular motion. This is due to the orbital motion of the water particles that make up the wave. In essence, the particle will move in a circular pattern as the wave energy transports it towards the shore.
What causes riptide?
Riptides are caused by strong currents moving away from the shore, often formed by the interaction of waves and the underwater topography like sandbars or rocky formations. These currents can be hazardous to swimmers as they pull them away from the shore rapidly.
Near shore larger sand and gravel particles are moved along the ocean bottom by?
turbulence
Why does a wave move toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water does not?
Waves transfer energy through the water, causing them to move toward the shore. In contrast, the leaf does not have enough force or energy acting on it to overcome the resistance of the water and move in a specific direction, so it remains floating in place.
What do you call the movement of water toward the shore or upstream?
invection
Does water move in waves toward shore?

Which diagram shows only a transerve wave?

What type of wind is a movement to air toward water?
An off shore brease.
What direction does an undertow flow?
An undertow flows away from the shore, toward the open water.
Does salt comes on shore?
yes. Salt Crystals can be moved by water, ice or wind and can come ashore.
Why do waves move toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water does not?
The wave travels through the water without moving the water with it (the water moves but then as the wave passes the water moves back to where it was). The floating leaf stays with the water as the wave passes on its way to the shore.
What way do water particles move a. toward shore b. in a circle c. backward d. sideways?
b.
What is the answers for the motion crossword puzzle?
Toward the shore
How are sand and gravel particles moved along the ocean bottom?

What happens to tsunami's as they move toward shore?
Their wave size increases.
