What is a destructive wave

a destructive wave would be a massive body of water that causes part of the land to erode away with one hit.

Explanation:

This can be caused by high winds with large fetch areas. These waves have enormous amounts of energy because of traveling for far distances and being exposed to high force winds.

constructive waves are the waves that build up the beaches. They have a large 'swash', which means they can carry deposits of sand and other materials far up the beach.

2. On the other hand, destructive waves are much larger and more

powerful, and are mostly made during a storm.

The backwash is more effective than the swash in moving material, and waves having this character are usually steep and associated with onshore winds. #answerwithquality #BAL
