What else can I help you with?
What happens when a deep-water wave strikes the bottom of the ocean?
waves get slower and higher then they break
Waves begin to feel bottom when water depth is?
When the water depth is half the wavelength of the wave, waves begin to feel the bottom. This is known as the wave base. As the wave base interacts with the ocean floor, it causes the wave to change shape and eventually break.
What causes a breaking wave?
Waves out in the ocean don't break because they are in deep water, waves break when they reach shallower water and so the bottom of the wave catches on the bottom and causes a bit of friction which slows the wave down and cause it to fall over itself, which is breaking
When deep water waves reach water shallower than one half to their wavelength they?
The wave gains height as the top continues travelling faster than the bottom of the wave, so forming a wave crest.
What is a wave trough?
This the bottom of a wave
What is the vertical distance from the top of a wave to the bottom of a wave called?
The vertical distance from the top of a wave to the bottom of a wave is called the amplitude.
What is the wave speed at the bottom of the rope?
The wave speed at the bottom of the rope is the speed at which the wave travels through the rope.
When was The Bottom Deep created?
The Bottom Deep was created in 2011.
what is the distance between the top and bottom of a wave in the ocean?
The distance between the top and bottom of a wave in the ocean is called the wave height. Wave height can vary depending on the strength of the wave and environmental factors, but it is typically measured from the trough (bottom) to the crest (top) of the wave.
Why a wave changes in the surf zone?
the bottom of the ocean is closer and the wave hit the bottom and they become shorter increasing the wave lenght
Why do waves form breakers as they move from deep water into shallow water?
The waves start off tall, when the water gets shallow like it is near the shore the waves fall and break. waves breakdown because the floor becomes to shallow for the waves so the bottom of the wave hits the shallow floor and slows it down but the top part of the wave continues and falls because the bottom part is behind it.
What is is the bottom of a wave?
Trough
