A wider surf zone offer more protection from waves because the energy is dissipated over a longer distance.

As ocean surface waves approach shore, they get taller and break, forming the foamy, bubbly surface called surf. The region of breaking waves defines the surf zone, or breaker zone. After breaking in the surf zone, the waves (now reduced in height) continue to move in, and they run up onto the sloping front of the beach, forming an uprush of water called swash. The water then runs back again as backwash. The nearshore zone where wave water comes onto the beach is the surf zone. The water in the surf zone is shallow, usually between 5 and 10 m (16 and 33 ft) deep; this causes the waves to be unstable.

The surf zone can contain dangerous rip currents: strong local currents which flow offshore and pose a threat to swimmers. Rip-current outlooks use the following set of qualifications.

What ate the four types of general landforms how do geographers define them and what are the characteristics of each one?
g100num [7]

Answer:

Mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains are the four major types of landforms. Minor landforms include buttes, canyons, valleys, and basins. Most geologists classify a mountain as a landform that rises at least 1,000 feet (300 meters) or more above its surrounding area. A hill is a landform that is higher than the surrounding land and has a visible summit; they're like mountains, only shorter. A plateau is a flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. A plain is a broad area of relatively flat land.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Weathering is a natural process of break down of rocks or minerals into sub-parts, sediments and others. The two broad categories of weathering which are responsible for breaking down of rock/minerals are:

1. Physical and mechanical weathering: It refers to the process by which the rocks are broken down into sub-parts. This process does not alter the chemical composition of the rocks. The agents such as temperature, pressure, and others.

2. Chemical weathering: It refers to the process by which the rocks are subjected to chemical treatment such as hydrolysis, oxidation, and carbonation. These treatments brings change in the chemical composition of the rocks which further causes the disintegration of rocks.
