What is the relationship between wind and ocean waves?

Wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves.

Wind moving at higher speeds will transfer energy over a larger part of the ocean water, resulting in waves with a shorter wavelength.

Winds moving at higher speeds with cause water to move forward at faster rates, causing larger ocean waves.

Winds moving at higher speeds will affect deeper water, resulting in waves that move at a faster rate.

Which statement best describes beaches?

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

What happens to beaches over time?

They can change suddenly, such as after a storm, or they can change slowly, such as when high tides erode a shoreline cliff.

Beaches undergo little change—any sand that is eroded is added back by rivers that flow nearby.

They only undergo a number of sudden changes when tsunamis hit their shores.

Beaches undergo little change since any buildup of landforms will be broken apart by the waves.
