Procesos costeros: las olas

The video explains how coastlines are shaped by the interaction of the sea and land, focusing on the role of waves. Wind generates waves that transfer energy across the sea, breaking at the shore to release this energy. The video distinguishes between construction waves, which deposit materials, and destructive waves, which erode the coast. These processes are crucial in shaping coastal landscapes.

What is the primary force responsible for generating waves in the sea?

• Tides

• Wind

• Currents

• Earthquakes

What happens to the base of a wave as it approaches the shore?

• It disappears

• It slows down

• It remains constant

• It speeds up

What is the term used for the water that extends along the shore?

• Tide

• Runoff

• Resbalaje

• Current

How do constructive waves affect the coastline?

• They deposit materials

• They create high tides

• They cause flooding

• They erode the coast

In what conditions are destructive waves typically formed?

• During low tide

• Stormy conditions

• Calm weather

• In shallow waters
