The basic differences are that the deep water wave "spreads out" and moves very quickly across open water. Wave height is not "significant" in these waves. When the wave reaches shallow water, however, it "slows down" at the leading edge. This causes the wave to "bunch up" and increase in height, even to dangerous proportions. A 20 or 30 metre high wave would devastate a shoreline, but would be hardly noticeable if it passed beneath a ship in deep water.
Surface waves are caused by wind and the jet stream, as deep waves are caused by currents and sometimes seismic activity, dawg. If you gots a surface wave, no sweat. Deep wave, run yo @$$ up a hill. Tsunami time, you f*cked.

Water waves are formed on oceans due to movement of air in the atmosphere. Deep waves ae formed due to attraction of moon, they get to the coast to add on with natural waves.
can deep water waves and shallow water waves exist at the same point offshore?
When a wave goes from deep water to shallow water, it decreases in size and strength. This is because shallow water does not have the required power to transmit the wave, and so its velocity decreases.
No. Tsunamis are only a few feet high in deep water. When they reach shallow water they become much higher.
If in shallow water, the plants that grow on the bottom, but if on deep water, on floating algae.
shallow
Its better to swim in the deep water but if you have a child its safe to swim in the shallow water.
The difference between a shallow and deep foundation is very simple. A shallow foundation is not very deep and a deep foundation is.
one is deep, the other is shallow.
The common misconception is that the difference between a shallow well and a deep well is the depth to which you dig to hit water. While this may be true in some cases, this isn't the basis of classification. A shallow well is one where the primary source of water is an unconfined aquifer and a deep well is one which is fueled by a confined aquifer.
It can be shallow or deep.
Shallow water is more dense than Deep water. This means that a wave travelling from deep water to shallow water would bend towards the normal. Also, the wave would travel slower in the shallow than in the deep water
there is more animal life in deep and shallow water.
Seahorses tend to like Shallow Waters More than Deep Waters
Deep Water
deep marine animals have short narrow body to overcome water pressure, having no eyes or reduced eyes, low physical and metabolic activities. shallow marine animals have reverse properties to that.
deep and shallow it depends on you! i like shallow myself u get more fish
They live in shallow sea water
