wave refraction

Question 1

what is a factor in determining wave action?

Answer 1

the topography of the land

Question 2

when are waves refracted?

Answer 2

when they approach a coastline that is not regular in shape

Question 3

when waves are refracted what happens?

Answer 3

they become increasingly parallel to the coastline

Question 4

what landform is usually associated with wave refraction?

Answer 4

headland

Question 5

what happens in ave refraction?

Answer 5

as waves approach the waves hit the headland first meaning most energy is concentrated here, energy is then dissipated around the headland causing low energy waves to the the bays surrounding causing more deposition

Question 6

what is created through low energy waves?

Answer 6

beaches
