Question 11 • TX-Environmental Systems

Which action causes breakers?

Answer
A
Waves hit the shore at an angle and transport sand.
B
Water flows away from the shore and moves sand with it.
C
Underwater earthquakes cause motion throughout ocean water.
D
Waves meet the shore and cause the crest to spill over the trough.

Explanation

Breakers form when waves enter shallow water near the shore. The wave slows, its crest becomes too steep, and it spills forward over the trough. Therefore, the correct choice is “Waves meet the shore and cause the crest to spill over the trough.”
