- oceanography ch. 10 Flashcards - Quizlet
fast flow of water back to open ocean, swim parallel to live! Study with Quizlet and memorize flashcards containing terms like beaches, swash, backwash and more
- 13. 2 Longshore Transport – Introduction to Oceanography
The upward-moving water, known as the swash, pushes sediment particles along the beach, while the downward-moving water, the backwash, brings them straight back With every wave that washes up and then down the beach, particles of sediment are moved along the beach in a zigzag pattern
- Swash zone dynamics - Coastal Wiki
In terms of coastal processes and coastal protection, a large part of the littoral sediment transport occurs in the swash zone, both cross-shore and longshore, which influences beach morphology, and beach erosion and beach recovery during and after storms
- 1 The Coast: Beaches and Shoreline Processes - Geology Guy
Describe how coastal features are formed by wave erosion and deposition Understand local changes that occur in coastline elevation and explain observed trends in the relative position of sea level Explain how climate change can affect the nature of the coastline
- Methods for field measurement and remote sensing ofthe swash zone
ABSTRACT: Swash action is the dominant process responsible for the cross-shore exchange of sediment between the subaerial and subaqueous zones, with a significant part of the littoral drift also taking place as a result of swash motions
- Landforms and terminology in coastal regions - Arizona State University
Results in waves aligning nearly parallel to shore These waves cause a longshore current that moves water (and particles) along a zigzag line downstream
- Beach Processes - SpringerLink
If waves approach the beach obliquely, and although sediment in this case is transported in a zigzag pattern across the beachface, the net result is sediment transport in the direction of the waves As sediment accumulates in a seaward-building swash zone, it constructs a berm, the nearly horizontal to slightly landward-dipping sand surface
- Oceanography FINAL EXAM SET Flashcards - Quizlet
Under calm conditions (light wave action), much of the swash soaks into the beach, so backwash is reduced The swash dominates, causing a net movement of sand up the beach face toward the berm Under stormy conditions (rough wave action), the beach becomes saturated with water from previous waves, so very little swash soaks into the beach
