∙ 14y agoI dont know what kind of wave you are refering to, but when a tsunami sized wave gets to shallow water it basically just drinks up all the water on the shore. And what your left with is dry land where water usually is it's quite spectacular really. I hope I've answered your question.

Under which circumstances do waves move faster?
In deep water
What is the difference between a deep borehole and a shallow borehole?
one is deep, the other is shallow.
What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow focus earthquakes generally cause more damage.
How deep does water have to be to form a hurricane?
Hurricanes don't necessarily need the water to be a certain depth as long as the water in a shallow area is warm all the way to the bottom. What you're probably referring to is the necessity that, when in deeper waters, there is a significant (150 feet is a common estimate) layer of warm (80F+) water at the surface. The reason for this is that as a hurricane passes over the water, it will generate waves intense enough to mix a shallow layer of warm water with cooler waters beneath it. In this way, the hurricane will rob itself of the warm water it needs.
How deep is coal under the ground?
It can be found (considerably shallow) 200 ft. Deep underground would be around 1000 ft.
Can deep-water and shallow-water waves exist at the same point offshore?
can deep water waves and shallow water waves exist at the same point offshore?
Are tides deep water or shallow water waves?
Deep Water
What happens when waves go from deep water to shallow water?
When a wave goes from deep water to shallow water, it decreases in size and strength. This is because shallow water does not have the required power to transmit the wave, and so its velocity decreases.
How does the ocean waves change when it reaches shallow water?
The ocean wave will get smaller when it reaches shallow water. Waves will always be higher and faster when traveling through deep waters.
What makes deep-water waves different from shallow?
The fact that your feet can touch the ground
Is water in the deciduous deep or shallow?
The water in the deciduous forest is shallow most of the year. When there is a lot of rain during the rainy season, the water can become deep in some places.
How do plunging breaker waves form?
They typically form on steep beaches and tend to be more erosive.
Is there shallow or deep water in a muskeg?
It can be shallow or deep.
Tsunamis are only a feet high in shallow water?
No. Tsunamis are only a few feet high in deep water. When they reach shallow water they become much higher.
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
Is there more animal life in shallow or deep water?
there is more animal life in deep and shallow water.
Do Echinoderms live in Deep water or Shallow water?
Seahorses tend to like Shallow Waters More than Deep Waters
