Explain how waves erode, transport & deposit material

The energy in waves can break apart rocks. Over time waves make small cracks bigger. ... Waves can also erode rock by abrasion. As a wave comes to shallow water it picks up sediment.  

A wave transports its energy without transporting matter. Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position. Energy is transported through the medium, yet the water molecules are not transported.

The waves push material at an angle up the beach via the swash and it is then deposited on the beach. The backwash will then collect the material and pull it down the beach in a vertical direction back out to sea. Another wave will then collect that material and carry it obliquely towards shore again.
