How does the amount of water affect the size of a wave?
I think the amount of water does affect the size off a wave and many other things such as weather,things in the water,and the conditions at the bottom of the body of water.
Does the amount of water affect the size of a wave?
yes because the more water you have the larger and higher the wave will come out to be
How does the amount energy affect the size of the wavelength?
Energy does not effect WAVELENGTH, it effects the AMPLITUDE of the Wave.
What affects the size of ocean waves?
Mainly the strenght of the wind passing over the water. Also the fetch, or distance that a wave has to develope. Finally, the beach profile will also effect the size and how the wave breaks.
The size of a wave is not affected by the?
salinity of the water
What relationship exists between the amplitude of a wave and amount of disturbance in the water?
the wave amplitude increases
When a wave passes a ship at sea how does the wave effect the ship?
the waves travel through water, but they do not carry the water with them. The ship moves up and down as the wave passes under it. The ship does not travel with the wave!
How does your view of a water wave change when you are travelling at the same speed as the wave?
If the depth of the water stays the same, the wave looks the same, to a first approximation. If the water gets deeper the wave height will decrease. If the water becomes shallower, the wave height increases. A second order effect is that friction effects will slowly reduce the wave height.
What is the source of the water wave?
one ripple will increase in size as it goes to shore all it takes is one ripple in the wave
What are tsumamis?
A tsumami is a large amount of water arranged into a wave. It is triggered when a large earthquake displaces a large amount of water and sends it hurling towards land. As the deep water wave gets close to land it picks up speed and gains height.
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.
What relationship exists between the amplitude of a wave and amount of a disturbance in the water?
the wave amplitude increases
