What else can I help you with?
Define the earth science version of fetch?
the distance traveled by wind or waves across open water.
What is is the distance the wind has traveled across open water?
The distance the wind has traveled across open water depends on factors such as wind speed, duration, and direction. Wind patterns can travel vast distances across oceans, influencing weather systems and ocean currents along their path. Tracking wind patterns over time can provide insights into their journey across the open water.
The distance wind travels across open ocean water is called?
fetch, or Gare but I'm pretty sure it's fetch =)
What does sailed leagues mean?
A league is a measure of distance- on land, 3 miles. At sea, 3 nautical miles (about 3.43 miles). To say that you sailed for leagues is a way of saying you traveled by boat for a long distance.
What is a zone of a lake or pond that extends across the top of the water?
the open-water zone
What is the zone of a lake or a pond that extends across the top of water?

What kind of boat do you need to go across the gulf?
To cross a gulf, you typically need a seaworthy vessel designed for open water. Options include a powerboat or a sailboat, both equipped with navigation and safety gear. The size and type of boat depend on factors like the distance to be traveled, weather conditions, and the number of passengers. It's essential to ensure the boat is well-maintained and suitable for the journey.
How many miles does penguins walk across Antarctica while breeding?
Your answer depends on the location of the penguin colony. Near the Ross Sea, for example, Emperor Penguins can travel across about 60 Km of ice in order to reach open water to feed. Once she lays the egg, the female travels to open water to feed. She transfers the egg to the male's feet before leaving them. Ultimately, she returns -- about six to eight weeks later, and transfers the egg from his feet to her feet. Then the male travels about the same distance to feed in open water.
What how many pool laps is equivelant to a .5 mile open water swim?
The distance you swim in a pool is the same distance you would swim in open water. The difference is the difficulty. With open water swimming, the swimmer has to face waves, an undiverted wake, and air temperature; where as, a swimmer in a pool has lane lines to dissolve wake, a fixed temperature, and calm water.
What is the length of water that the wind blows over called?
The length of water that the wind blows over is called the "fetch." It refers to the distance over which the wind travels across open water, influencing wave height and energy. A longer fetch generally results in larger waves, as the wind has more space to exert its force on the water's surface.
What causes most waves to form?
Most waves are caused by wind blowing across the surface of the water, transferring energy and creating ripples that develop into larger waves. The size and strength of waves depend on factors such as wind speed, wind duration, and the distance of open water over which the wind has blown.
