Which action causes breakers? waves hit the shore at an angle and transport sand. water flows away from the shore and moves sand with it. underwater earthquakes cause motion throughout ocean water. waves meet the shore and cause the crest to spill over the trough.

D. Hope this helps

Explanation:

The correct answer is: Waves meet the shore and cause the crest to spill over the trough

A breaker is a wave whose amplitude reaches a critical level at a certain point of time. As a result, large amounts of wave energy is transformed into turbulent kinetic energy.

When the base of the wave slows down as the crest forms upward and continues to spin a subtype of breaker is formed and it is called a plunging breaker.
