Question

In a destructive wave, ___. a. backwash is stronger than swash b. swash is stronger than backwash c. water hits the beach in a straight line d. sand and small rocks are deposited by water

Answer 1

I believe the answer is  B) swash is stronger than backwash.

Answer 2

Constructive waves are created in calmer weather and they possess less power than destructive waves. On the other hand, destructive waves break on the shore and deposit material there. They help in the building of beaches. Destructive waves have a swash that is stronger than the backwash.
