Waves do not speed up as they approach land. The speed of a wave is determined by its frequency and wavelength, and this remains constant as it moves towards the shore. However, the wave height will increase and the wave will break as it enters shallower water near the coast.

What is the effect when the waves get to shallow water near the land?
When waves reach shallow water near the shore, their speed decreases while their height increases. This causes the waves to become steeper and eventually break against the shore, leading to the formation of surf.
Where does sound travel faster in water or land?
Sound travels faster in water than in land because water is denser than air, allowing sound waves to propagate more efficiently through it. The speed of sound in water is about 1500 m/s, while in air it is about 340 m/s.
How land breeze and sea breeze produced?
Land breezes are produced when the land cools faster than water at night, causing the air over the land to become denser and flow towards the warmer ocean. Sea breezes are produced during the day when the land heats up faster than the water, causing the air over the land to rise and flow towards the cooler ocean.
What breaks on water but not on land?
The answer is "waves." Waves break on the surface of water, causing them to crash and break, but this does not occur on land.
When does surface waves reach land?
They result from the wind blowing over an area of fluid surface. Waves in the oceans can travel thousands of miles before reaching land. Wind waves range in size from small ripples, to waves over 100 ft (30 m) high.[1]
What two ways are light and sound different?
sound waves are faster in water than in land, light waves are faster in land
How are waves involved in erosion?
Yes they are because the impact of the waves erodes the object to a size. The harder the waves the easier and faster the land will erode
Why can a person run faster on land and not in water?
The waves and water resist your motion.
Why do waves get smaller as they travel farther?
They get closer to the sea bed as they come in-land and have to start braking.
Electromagnetic waves travel faster over land or water?
as long as they are both traveling through the air, then the speed is the same.
Why does land become hot and also become cold faster than the body of water?

Why do surface currents curve?
surface currents curve because the waves of an ocean bushes the sand. it mostly depends on the weather if its hot waves are known ed to be smooth, but if is bad weather like thunder or rain the waves will move faster so the currents cant handle the strength so it moves so it upper level curves leaving the sure to move closer to land.
Why do incoming waves bend toward the beach until they strike the shore head-on?
The speed of water waves is slower in shallower water. So for a wave approaching at an angle the parts closer to the beach move more slowly and the parts farther out catch up. It's a kind of refraction as in light. Similarly tidal waves out in deep oceans are barely observable. But as they approach land, the earlier parts slow up and the faster parts behind pile up.
Which warms faster water or land?
The land warms faster
How does the speed of sound compare with its speed through liquids and solids?
When sound waves go through liquids, they travel five times as faster than they do on land. When sound waves go through solids though, they don't go as fast.
What is the effect when the waves get to shallow water near the land?
When waves reach shallow water near the shore, their speed decreases while their height increases. This causes the waves to become steeper and eventually break against the shore, leading to the formation of surf.
