When does surface waves reach land?
They result from the wind blowing over an area of fluid surface. Waves in the oceans can travel thousands of miles before reaching land. Wind waves range in size from small ripples, to waves over 100 ft (30 m) high.[1]
What effects the size of waves?
The depth of water affects wave size. As waves come toward land from the ocean, they are underwater. As the water (and wave) hit the bottom of the ocean approaching land, the wave is pushed up and becomes a very noticable event on the water surface. The more the water depth decreases, the farther the wave is pushed up - that's where those big surfer's waves come from.
When rolling or sliding a box down a slope where will it land?
At the bottom of the slope?
What is used to slow down an aircraft?
If the aircraft is coming into land then the hinged part of the wing called Flaps are lowered to increase the amount of Drag over the wings. If you think of drag as an air-born form of braking then Flaps down means the aircraft the aircraft slows but increases the maneuverability the pilot has over the aircraft. If the aircraft is on the ground then wheel brakes are very useful
What is the device in an aircraft wing to reduce lift and decrease speed?
Airplanes use a combination of slats and flaps in order to increase lift and increase drag. The slats are located on the leading edge of the wing and the flaps on the trailing edge. Flaps and slats when extended forward and aft increase the wing area which increases lift. When the flaps and slats are further extended they curve downwards increasing the camber of the wing which also increases lift. The greater the lift, the greater the drag. Deploy the flaps a little and lift overcomes the drag, fully extend them and the drag overcomes the lift. For takeoff the flaps and slats may be extended just a few degrees to increase lift. When flaps and slats are fully deployed in landing configuration, the lift is great but so is the drag and this in turn helps to slow down the airplane on decent to land.
What are powerful seismic waves that begin as an ocean floor earthquake that can reach 30 meters in height when approaching land and can cause destruction in coastal areas?
A tsunami
