how do sea waves modify the topography of coastal regions ?
Answers
Answer:
The following processes are used by sea waves to modify the topography of coastal areas are:
* corrosion
* attrition
* hydraulic action
* solvent action
* The most powerful agent of the marine erosion are waves.
* The depositional work of the waves also helps in the modification of coastal topography which can be seen in the form of land forms of waves.
Answer:
The erosion and deposition of the sea waves gives rise to coastal land forms. Sea waves continuous strike at the rocks. Crack
develop.
2)Hollow like caves are formed on the rocks. These are called sea caves . As these cavities become
bigger and bigger 0nly the roof of the caves remain, thus forming Sea arches.
3)Erosion breaks the roof and only walls are left. These wallslike features are called stacks.
4)The steep rocky coast rising almost vertically above sea water is called sea cliff.
