How does a breaker form?
how does a breaker form? breakers form as waves pass over shallow areas, such as near the shore. Friction with the bottom causes the wave to slow and go higher. The unstable wave that falls over is called a breaker.
What is a breaker as it relates to waves?
it is used in a harbor where ships dock. breakers lower wave intensity so safe docking can be achieved. a breaker is no more than a big wall that runs underwater and above water.
How do you replace a 15 amp breaker in the circuit box?
The breaker will have a black wire connected to it. Turn off the main breaker and then disconnect that black wire from the breaker. The breaker will snap into the main bar. Remove the breaker and install the new one. Reconnect the black wire to the breaker and then install the cover and turn the main breaker back on.
What are the types of sea waves?
Take a look:"surface wave." Online Art. Encyclopædia Britannica Online. 3 Sept. 2008 http://original.britannica.com/eb/art-2735(To all those who are going to attempt the above link, you need to be registered at Britannica.)Waves are of three types (on the basis of their crashing on the shore):Spilling BreakersIn a Spilling Breaker, the energy which the wave has transported over many miles of sea is released gradually over a considerable distance. The wave peaks up until it is very steep but not vertical. Only the topmost portion of the wave curls over and descends on the forward slope of the wave, where it then slides down into the trough . This process is why these waves may look like an advancing line of foam.Plunging BreakersIn a Plunging Breaker, the energy is released suddenly into a downwardly directed mass of water. A considerable amount of air is trapped when this happens and this air escapes explosively behind the wave, throwing water high above the surface. The plunging breaker is characterized by a loud explosive sound and are more commonly found on the west coast of North America and the Pacific Ocean.Surging BreakersIn surging waves, the wave crest tends to advance faster than the base of the wave, which would suggest the formation of a plunging wave. However, the wave then advances faster than the crest, the plunging is arrested, and the breaker surges up the beach face as a wall of water which may or may not be white water. These waves are usually found on beaches with a very steep slope.

What is the Breaker reef like?
Breaker reefs are parts of the reef that see heavy wave action; they are usually dominated by hard branchy corals like Acropora sp.
What causes breakers to form?
When the wave approach the coastline, the height of the wave changes because of the density in the water between the top of the breaker and the sand .So when the wave gets closer to the shore it gets smaller in till it tumbles over.
What is the meaning for wave vane?
Wave vane means a device to measure breaker angle in the nearshore. This device was developed by P.Chandramohan, National Institute of Oceanography, India to take Littoral Environmental Observations (LEO) in the nearshore. This wave vane is very much helpful to coastal engineers and oceanographers where measurement of breaker angle is very essential for longshore currents and littoral drift computations.
