What happen when surface currents meet a continent?
you get waves not tidal waves or tsunami's! You just get waves. how big they get would depend on air currents and storms
What are the heavy waves caused by the hurricane called?
They are actually called a Storm Surge, and it is due to the low pressure associated with a hurruicane which causes a rise in sea surface level which is then whipped up by the strong hurricane force winds. (Rip tides, or rip currents, are strong surface currents flowing seaward from a shore in some places, and are not generally associated with hurricanes.)
Are heavy waves caused by hurricanes called rip tides?
No. The waves caused by hurricanes are simply called waves. However, these waves can cause rip tide.
Tne heavy waves caused by a hurricane are called?
Rip tides
What causes waves in the ocean to form?
Ocean tides are caused by the gravitation of the Moon. Currents can be formed by the flow of tidal water around the continental plates, or by a difference in water temperature between large ocean areas. Surface waves are caused by the wind. Abnormal waves can be created by the tectonic movement of plates around and under the ocean floor (tsunamis).
What scientist studies waves and tides?
An Oceanographer!
What are three main motions of the ocean?
Currents, tides, & waves.
What is the cause of waves currents and tides?
the wind and shifting of the earth.
What kind scientist studies tides and waves?
An Oceanographer!
What kind of scientist studies tides and waves?
An Oceanographer!
Is the heavy waves caused by a hurricane called rip tides?
No, rip tides are not caused by heavy waves from hurricanes. Rip tides, also known as rip currents, are swift, narrow currents flowing away from the shore. They are typically caused by complex interactions between waves, currents, and geography, and can be dangerous for swimmers and surfers.
Is it true that waves tides and currents are responsible for erosion of islands?
True
What are four kinds of motion in the ocean?
Waves, whirlpools, tides, and currents.
What is the three basic motions of ocean water?
The three ways the ocean moves in are currents, tides, and waves. I figured this out while I was doing homework. Maybe it does help you learn. :)
Which type of scientist measure tides current and waves?
hydrographer
A scientist that studies waves and ocean currents is a?
An oceanographer.
What are horizontal movements of water?
Currents, tides, and waves are horizontal water movements.
