A wave length.
What distributes energy in the ocean and is caused by differences in density?
The question is incomplete. No options (for which of the following) are given to answer the question.
What are unusual flat-topped seamounts in the ocean called?
An unusual flat-topped seamount is called a Guyot.
Why does the position of the ocean ellipse change of a course of a given week?
The moon's shape would change with the impact of meteor's, changing the moon's landscape

A wave length.
In what ways are sound waves like ocean waves?
Sound waves are like ocean waves because it resembles an ocean wave with crests (peak) and troughs (valleys). The crests indicate regions of high pressure and the troughs, low pressure.
Is a process by which ocean floors spread laterally from crests of main ocean ridges?
Sea floor spreading
What are whitecaps?
Whitecaps are large ocean waves that have prominent "caps" of white bubbles on their breaking crests.
What is the Ditstice Between Crests?
The distance between crests( like in ocean waves) is referred to as it's wave length. Wave length also has direct effect on it's frequency, how often the wave repeats.
What is a breaker in the ocean?
As an ocean wave approaches the shallow water near a shoreline, it begins to lose energy because of friction with the ocean bottom. This causes the wave to slow down. As the wave becomes shallower, incoming wave crests gradually catch up with the slower wave crests ahead resulting in a wavelength that decreases from crest-to-crest. The incoming wave becomes higher, steeper, and unstable, and their crests collapse forward. Breakers, as seen in the picture, are collapsing waves. The motion of wave crests also influences the formation of a breaker. Breakers are less affected by friction than wave troughs and thus overrun the troughs. The collapsing crests of breakers moving at high speeds toward shore play a major role in shaping shorelines.
Are ocean waves and sound waves different?
ocean waves have to do with water and sound waves have to do with sound
The name given to high surface ocean levels as a result of hurricanes?
the temporary increase in ocean levels as a direct result of a hurricanes winds is called the storm surge.
What name is given to the area around the pacific ocean in which many earthquake occur?
it is called the pacific ring of fire
What sea supports India's beaches?
India sticks out into an ocean that bears it name, the "Indian Ocean". The Indian Ocean to the west side of India is called the "Arabian Sea" and the Indian Ocean to the east side of India is called the "Bay of Bengal" to the south of India round Siri Lanka is the Indian Ocean is given the name the "Laccadive Sea".
How long is wavelength?
A wavelength is the distance between 2 successive waves (sound waves, ocean waves, or any other wave.)
