What else can I help you with?
Are shallow earthquakes more destructive than deeper earthquakes of the same intensity?
Earthquakes that happen in shallow water cause tsunami and other side affects like landslides.
What causes an ocean wave to slow down?
because the water gets deeper. so the swells in the ocean are more frequent but smaller since theres more water
Why does cold water hold more oxygen?
The solubility of oxygen in water is temperature-dependent, and about twice as much (14.6 mg·L−1) dissolves at 0 °C than at 20 °C. To illustrate, recall bubbles forming in a pot of water right before it begins to boil; these bubbles are oxygen that was dissolved at room temperature, but is being ejected as the temperature rises. Oxygen can slip into the crevasses or “holes” that exist in the loose hydrogen-bonded network of water molecules without forcing them apart. A very physical perspective on solubility of oxygen in water is that when the water is colder, the water molecules move less, and the oxygen remains trapped in the aqueous solution.
Why does the height of a wave change as it approaches shore?
When a deep-water pressure wave, such as a tsunami, caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, reaches the continental shelf, it compresses the pressure wave created. When the water gets more shallow, the wave height increases; This is simple physics: the speed of the wave actually slows as it enters shallower water. This slowing causes the wave length to shorten, but the kinetic energy contained in the pressure wave doesn't decrease. Thus the peaks get taller and the troughs get deeper.
What gives more oxygen to the atmosphere?
Plankton gives more oxygen to the atmosphere.
Why do sunken ships rust quickly in shallow water and slowly in deep water?
Rusting is the result of oxidation of iron (steel). Theer's more dissolved oxygen in shallow water than there is in deep water.
Is there more animal life in shallow or deep water?
there is more animal life in deep and shallow water.
Is deep water more or less dense than shallow water?
Shallow water is more dense than Deep water. This means that a wave travelling from deep water to shallow water would bend towards the normal. Also, the wave would travel slower in the shallow than in the deep water
Why would you rather fish in deep water than shallow water?
deep and shallow it depends on you! i like shallow myself u get more fish
Do Echinoderms live in Deep water or Shallow water?
Seahorses tend to like Shallow Waters More than Deep Waters
Why is the pH of shallow groundwater less than that of deep groundwater?
More dissolved solids accumulated in deep ground water and perciatation makes shallow ground more acidic.
Why speed of water less in shallow water as compared to deep water?
The speed of water is typically slower in shallow water compared to deep water because the friction between the water and the bottom of the shallow water body slows down the movement of the water. In deep water, there is less friction with the bottom, allowing the water to move more freely and at a faster speed.
What happens to the direction of water wave when it passes from deep to shallow water?
The direction of a water wave typically changes when it passes from deep to shallow water. In shallow water, the wave tends to bend and align itself more with the underwater contours due to the decrease in wave speed and change in wave refraction. This can result in the wave crest aligning more parallel to the shoreline.
How many liters of water fills a 34cm container?
Less than one if the container is very shallow, and more than thousands, if the container is deep enough.Less than one if the container is very shallow, and more than thousands, if the container is deep enough.Less than one if the container is very shallow, and more than thousands, if the container is deep enough.Less than one if the container is very shallow, and more than thousands, if the container is deep enough.
Is there more ocean organisms in shallow or deep?
Shallow there is more nutrient runoff from onshore
How much water in a 16x35 pool?
You need more information. But, let's assume the pool is 8 feet deep at the deep end and 3 feet at the shallow end. If the pool is rectangular, the total volume will be 28,798 gallons of water.
Why do shallow reservoirs lose more by evaporation than deep reservoirs?
Shallow reservoirs have a higher surface area-to-volume ratio compared to deep reservoirs, causing more water to be exposed to the air and experience evaporation. This increased exposure to the air allows for more heat transfer from the surroundings to the water, leading to greater evaporation rates in shallow reservoirs.
