Question

(If you want more points answer this) Why is shoreline erosion more severe during strong storms than during mild ones?

-The waves hitting the shoreline have more energy during strong storms.

-The waves hitting the shoreline have less energy during strong storms.

-Stronger storms bring stronger winds and wind does more damage to a shoreline than water.

-The damage done due to storms is about the same during any kind of storm.

CORRECT ANSWER: The waves hitting the shoreline have more energy during strong storms.

Answer 1

The waves hitting the shoreline have more energy during strong storms

Answer 2

The waves hitting the shoreline have more energy during strong storms. This is the reason why shoreline erosion more severe during strong storms than during mild ones. More energy means more erosion, as an effect of the law of physics that regulates energy and mass.
