why does waves move towards the beach, and not “outwards” or “sidewards”?
In: Earth Science
You’ve got lots of good answers, but something I don’t see anywhere:
Waves move in all directions.
Most waves grow over large distances. They spend 1000 miles or more getting bigger and bigger. Because of those distances, waves that are big enough to really be seen when you’re standing on the beach must have come from somewhere 1000+ miles away. This means they come from out at sea.
