How can ocean waves help locate underwater reefs or sandbars?
Ocean waves help locate underwater reefs or sandbars by I think not having waves and if you stand on a mountain and see the ocean look for a dark part in the ocean and that is probbly the reef or the sandbars and observe it i might not have big waves or currents. No, this is completely wrong. Waves break when they move into shallow water (as caused by a reef or sandbar), so you should be looking for breaking waves to determine where reefs are.
