What factors determine the size of a wave?
Wind speed Length of time the wind has blown over a given area Distance of open water that the wind has blown over; called fetch
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 3 factors affect the height length and period of a wave?
The three main factors that affect the height, length, and period of a wave are wind speed, the duration of time the wind has blown in a certain direction (fetch), and the distance over which the wind has blown (fetch length). These factors influence the energy transfer from the wind to the water surface, determining the characteristics of the resulting waves.
What is it called when the party of a river or stream where the water flows swiftly over rocks?
It is known as rapids - a length of the river where rocks break the surface and the water is churned into what is known as white water.
What is a fetch wave?
The Fetch of a wave is the distance over open water over which the wind has blown (further it has travelled, the larger the wave.)
When warm water vapor is blown over land in the water cycle what happens?
When warm water vapor is blown over land, it can cool and condense into tiny water droplets, forming clouds. This process is part of the water cycle and can lead to precipitation, such as rain or snow, depending on the temperature. Additionally, the vapor can contribute to humidity in the air, affecting local weather patterns and ecosystems.
Can an 80 pound human be blown away by 80 mph winds?
Blown over, blown down, yes, but not blown away.
What is water flowing over a cliff called?
