Question

Which is not an erosional feature of sea waves?
A. OxBow Lakes
B. Beach
C. Sea Cave
D. All of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Sea waves do both erosional and depositional work and as a result of this many relief features are formed. Waves are the result of the wind blowing over the area of the fluid surface.

Complete answer: When it comes to erosional features of sea waves sea beach is not one of them. Sea beaches form as a result of the depositional work of the sea waves. Beaches form alongside a body of water and they mainly consist of loose particles.
Sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, etc are the particles which compose a beach. Most beaches are present in coastal areas however there are some present on freshwater locations. In coastal areas the wave or current deposits and reworks sediments. One third of the global coastlines are occupied by sandy beaches. Underdeveloped or undiscovered beaches are also called wild beaches.
Option A - OxBow Lakes - It is a U-shaped lake that is formed when a wide meander of a river is cut off. This leads to the creation of a free standing body of water. Billabongs are the name given to them in Australia and they are called Resacas in Texas, United States of America.
Option C - Sea Cave - They are also known as littoral caves. Wave action of the sea is the main reason for their formation. Erosion is the primary process involved in it. They can be found throughout the world and they are formed along present coastlines.

Therefore the correct answer is option B.

Note: There are many varieties of sea waves like - Capillary wave, Deep water wave, Gravity wave, etc. Before reaching land they can travel thousands of miles and they can be as much as 100 feet high.
