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?
When wind and waves push water toward the shore, water is often forced sideways by the oncomin waves. The water streams along the shore until it finds its way back to an open sea or lake a riptide can usually narrow and in a trench between sandbars, under piers and sometimes along jetties.

Why does a wave move toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water does not?
Because the water particles are bumping into each other. One his another, and pushes it forward. The water particles are really barely moving. If the particles actually moved with the wave, then all the water in the oceans would be piled up on the coast lines, in theory. Its like a human wave at a football game... The particles (or people) are making a chain reaction.The wave propagates through the water; the water itself has no lateral movement. The movement of the water in a wave is almost entirely up and down.

What direction does an undertow flow?

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.
