Wave action can produce features such as beaches, sandbars, ripples, and wave-cut cliffs along Coastlines. It can also lead to the formation of sea stacks, caves, and arches through erosion and deposition processes.
Some depositional features due to wave action include beaches, sandbars, spits, and barrier islands. Waves can transport and deposit sediments along the shoreline, forming these landforms over time.
The coiled spring produces a longitudinal mechanical wave as the compression and expansion of the coils create alternating areas of high and low pressure in the medium through which the wave travels.
Coastal depositional features that can form from waves include beaches, sandbars, spits, and barrier islands. These features are created by the deposition of sediment carried by wave action along the coast.
A transverse wave can be produced on a stretched string. In this type of wave, the motion of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
