The height of a wave is twice the measure of its what?
The height of the wave, above the rest position, is its Amplitude. Twice the amplitude is the distance from the deepest point to the highest point.
How does the speed and wave height vary according to the depth of the ocean when there is a tsunami?
Tsunamis wave energy extends from the surface to the bottom in the deepest waters. As the Tsunami attacks the coast line, the wave energy is compressed into a much shorter distance creating destructive , life-threatening waves.
What does not affect wave height in deep water?
wavelenghth
Why does tsunami wave grow so high when it reaches the shore?
When a wave is traveling in deep water, its bottom is at a set depth. As it comes ashore, the wave tries to stay the same wave height. since the land is denser than the water, the water is forced upward. That upward movement is the height of the tsunami.
What instrument measures the behavior of the Sea?
The Wave Height measuring Network.
What is the height of the wave from the mid-line to the top or bottom?
Amplitude!
The height of a wave is twice the measure of its what?
The height of the wave, above the rest position, is its Amplitude. Twice the amplitude is the distance from the deepest point to the highest point.
When you the height of a wave from the center line to a crest or trought is the waves?
amplitude
What is a wave median?
Yes
What is the term for the height of a wave?
Hi The term used to refer the height of a wave is "significant wave height".
What is the height of the wave known as?
The height of a wave is the amplitude.
This is the height of the wave above its rest position?
It is called the crest, as the bottom is called a troth.
What are wave length and wave height?
Wave length, also known as cycle and period, is the difference in magnitude from one point on a wave to the corresponding point on an adjacent wave as measured along, and defined by, the x-axis of the graphed wave forms. Wave height, also known as magnitude, is the distance above or below the x-axis as measured along, and defined by, the y-axis of the graphed wave forms.
How do you use wave height in a sentence?
That wave height is too much for me!
Why does the amplitude depend on the height of a wave?
This is just the definition of "amplitude". The amplitude of a wave is the height of the wave. "Amplitude" is a fancier name for "height" when we speak about waves.
What is the height of the crest or trough?
The height of a wave crest or depth of a trough is called the amplitude of the wave.
Which wave property is related to a wave's height?
amplitude
