Waves transmit energy through water. They are undulations of the water surface produces by winds blowing over it. The size of the waves depend on the the wind speed, timing, and distance. Fetch is an important factor since it will determine the magnitude of the wave and grow energy. It can expand in sediment movement an erosion. Often most erosion are created during storm events in which they transport sediment. Coastal erosion is a major concern for coastlines, beaches, and marine life. There have been built different systems to slow down erosion. For instance building sand dunes, building up the bottom of the ocean farther from the beach. As a result waves have an incredible amount of energy that has the force to destroy marine life and communities by the coast or beach. It's essential to prevent erosion and secure the the coastlines and marine life.
