Question

The speed at which waves approach the shore depends on the shoreline features and the depth of the sea floor. When a wave reaches the shore, it releases a burst of energy that generates a current which runs parallel to the shoreline. What is this current called?

Answer 1

It would be Longshore Current

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

Longshore current.

Step-by-step explanation:

A wave is a disturbance which travels through a material medium without any permanent displacement of the particles of the medium. During the propagation of a wave, energy is transmitted from one point to another since waves flow with energy. The higher its speed of propagation, the higher the energy of the wave.

The energy released by the wave at shore produces a current which is referred to as a longshore current.
