Wave action works to straighten a coast as wave energy focuses around headlands and tends to disperse energy in coves and bays in a process called
A) longshore current.
B) breakers.
C) wave refraction.
D) tidal bore.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wave refraction causes wave energy to focus around headlands and disperse in coves and bays, leading to the straightening of the coast. Longshore currents move parallel to the shore, breakers are the waves that break on the shore, and tidal bores are a rare phenomenon where a wave moves up a river against the direction of the current.
