Littoral Zone - ANSWER Area of shoreline where land is subject to wave action Littoral Zone Subdivisions - ANSWER - Offshore - Nearshore - Foreshore - Backshore - Beach Offshore - ANSWER Where waves begin to break in the deeper water. Friction between the waves and the sea bed may cause some distortion of the wave shape. Nearshore - ANSWER Friction between the seabed and waves distorts the wave sufficiently to cause it to break. Possible breakpoint bar formation. Foreshore - AN...
