The crest.
The wave crest is the highest point of a wave, where the wave reaches its maximum height before breaking.
The crest wave is located at the highest point of a wave, where the upward motion of the wave reaches its peak before breaking or dissipating.
A crest of the sea is the highest point of a wave. It is where the wave is breaking and the water is lifted up and pushed forwards by the wind.
A wave breaking or crashing onto the shore.
That phenomenon is called "whitecaps." It occurs when the crest of a wave breaks due to the interaction between the wave and the seafloor as the water becomes shallower near the shore. The breaking wave produces foam and froth as air bubbles are mixed with the water.
The crest of a wave travels the farthest distance, as it is the highest point of the wave and moves the farthest from its starting point before crashing onto the shore or breaking.
The distance from one wave crest to the next crest is called the wavelength of the wave.
When a high wave crest crashes down onto the ocean floor, it is called a "plunging wave." This occurs when the wave reaches shallow water and the base of the wave becomes unstable, resulting in the wave breaking forcefully.
The distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next wave is called the wavelength. It is typically measured from crest to crest or trough to trough.
The distance from crest to crest in a wave is called the wavelength.
The crest-to-crest distance on a wave is the distance between two consecutive wave crests. It is a measure of the wavelength of the wave, which is the distance between corresponding points on a wave cycle.
