Wave action describes the 'behaviour' of the waves. Waves can either be constructive or descrutive. Constructive waves act to build up the beach, this occures when more sediment( sand) is deposited onto the beach and less( sediment) is removed with the receding waves. Destructive waves are the opposite of constructive waves, this is when more sediment is removed than is deposited onto the beach.

How does this motion relate to wave motion?
because motion is moving and wave motion has waves
What is a direction that a mechanical wave can displace its medium?
Both parallel and perpendicular to the motion of the wave at the same time/Perpendicular to the motion of the wave/Parallel to the motion of the wave - APEXPerpendicular to the motion of the wave.Parallel to the motion of the wave.Both parallel and pependicular to the motion of the wave at the same time.
What describes the motion of the media for a surface wave?
The motion is parallel to wave direction The motion is both parallel and perpendicular to wave direction. The motion is perpendicular to wave direction.
What is the difference between bulk motion and wave motion?
In Bulk Motion, the actual object is moving along in a wave formation. In Wave Motion, only the wave is moving, not the material . Picture a 'wave' at a ball game. The people move up and down but not from seat to seat. This is Wave Motion.
In a compressional wave the motion of the particle are parallel to the motion of the wave?
Yes

How does the motion of a wave change?
the motion of a wave changes when it moves

Yes
Which kind of wave is a water wave?
A wave in a body of water is a traveling transverse wave because the motion of the medium (water) is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
When was Wave Motion - journal - created?
Wave Motion - journal - was created in 1979.
What do you call the motion of a wave?
A wave has cyclic motion - that is it repeats the motion many times, almost without variation.
What wave occur when the motion of medium wave is parallel to the direction of the wave?
amplitude Longitudinal waves occurs when the motion of the medium. This is parallel to the direction of the wave.
What is the motion of a love wave?
circulation motion
A wave in which the motion of the material is perpendicular to the motion of the wave is?
Transverse waves . Eg , sea waves .
