Earth: an introduction to physical geology, 10e (tarbuck/lutgens/tasa) Diff: 1: a deep-water wave exists when ________, the wavelength exceeds one-half the water depth, the wavelength exceeds one-half the wave height, the water depth exceeds one-half the wavelength, the wave height exceeds the water depth. Diff: 1: water movement and sand transport parallel to the beach are fundamentally caused by. ________: strong, offshore winds creating a pileup of water along the beach front, deep-water waves breaking offshore, waves impinging obliquely onto a beach, a long fetch parallel to the beach. 1: ________ are built more or less parallel to the beach, jetties, seawalls, groins, breakers. Diff: 1: increasing quantities of ________ will eventually produce global warming, carbon dioxide, ozone, water vapor, volcanic aerosols. Diff: 1: erosional retreat of a ________ leads to enlargement and extension of a wave-cut platform in the inland direction, wave-cut cliff, wave-cut barrier beach, wave-cut tombolo, offshore, wave-cut, breakwater bar.
