Question

Which type of wave results from a moderately sloping coastal region?

Plunging breaker

Spilling breaker

Surging breaker

Tsunami wave

Answer 1

Plunging Breaker

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three types of "normal waves". The Surging breaker is when the beach has a steep slope, the spilling breaker is when the beach is almost perfectly flat. That leaves the plunging breaker, which is a wave that occurs when the beach is moderately flat. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The correct answer is spilling breaker.

Step-by-step explanation:

The spilling breaker is also known as surf wave is an over-steepened wave in which the unsteady top of the wave tumbles down the front of the waveform as it progresses towards the shallower water. This results in a gradual reduction of the height of the wave unless it moves up the beach as swash. The kind of wave, which arises from a moderately sloping coastal region will be a spilling breaker, as it is a common wave related to moderate beach gradient.
