... William Murdoch Outline the Factors that Influence the Amount of Wave Energy that Arrives at the Coastline The amount of wave energy that arrives at the coastline is governed by a combination of factors. By wave energy, we mean the actual amount of force a wave can exert on a body, and by coastline, we mean the interface between the land and the sea. This essay will discuss the factors involved with the gaining of wave energy. Secondly, the factors involved with the reduction of wave energy will be discussed. Thirdly, there are the directional factors and finally, the human factors. Wave energy is inversely proportional to the wave height squared. Therefore it is the factors governing wave height, which govern the gain in wave energy. Wave height is the vertical distance between the bottom of the trough and the peak of the crest. It is governed mainly by fetch, (the distance over
