how do long wavelength waves impact the coastline compared to short wavelength waves?
long wavelength waves concentrate their energy in shallow waters, causing significant erosion. short wavelength waves lose energy quickly and have a milder impact.
long wavelength waves carry less energy over long distances, leading to mild erosion. short wavelength waves carry more energy, causing stronger erosion.
long wavelength waves lose energy quickly, causing only minor erosion. short wavelength waves concentrate their energy, causing significant erosion.
long wavelength waves transfer less energy and move small amounts of sediment. short wavelength waves cause strong erosion and reshape the coastline

Explanation:

Long - wavelength waves concentrate their energy in shallow waters, causing significant erosion. Short - wavelength waves lose energy quickly and have a milder impact.

Answer:

Long wavelength waves concentrate their energy in shallow waters, causing significant erosion. Short wavelength waves lose energy quickly and have a milder impact.
