The answer is friction. As ocean wave approach the shoreline, they are affected by the sea bed through process such as refraction, shoaling, bottom friction and wave-breaking. However wave breaking also occurs in deep water when the waves re too steep. If the waves meet major structurer or abrupt changes in the coastline, they will be transformed by diffraction.

How does it explain the differences between seafloor and continental crust?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The movements involved in plate tectonics acted like a giant conveyor belt for earths lithosphere and the Mid ocean ridges occur where mantle material rises upward, creating new seafloor crust and pushing plates apart.

Explanation:

How does this action explain the differences between seafloor crust and continental crust?

The movements involved in plate tectonics acted like a giant conveyor belt for earths lithosphere and the Mid ocean ridges occur where mantle material rises upward, creating new seafloor crust and pushing plates apart.

Main differences between sea floor crust and continental crusti is that oceanic crust and continental crust are less dense than the mantle, but sea floor crust is denser than continental crust. It also noticed that subduction occurs at ocean trenches, where dense seafloor crust pushes under less dense continental crust, thereby returning seafloor crust to the mantle. The subducting seafloor crust may partially melt, with lower density material melting first and erupting from volcanoes as new continental crust.
