wave impact

Wave impact refers to the force exerted by the movement of water waves on objects, structures, or the shoreline. As waves travel and crash, they transfer energy, which can cause erosion, damage, or displacement of materials. Larger waves or those with greater energy exert stronger impacts, especially during storms or rough seas. Understanding wave impact is important for designing seawalls, boats, and coastal infrastructure to withstand these forces and protect against shoreline erosion or structural failure.
