As waves approach the shore, interaction with the sea floor
slows the waves down and the crests of the waves bunch up. They
increase in height as the energy in each wave compresses into a
shorter horizontal distance, but the period of the wave does not
change. Eventually, the waves break.

retreated from the bitter northern weather, to overwinter in milder
climes.

Why is ocean water near the equator warmer than ocean water at the poles
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/12
The ocean receives most of its heat along the equator, where incoming solar radiation is about double that received at the poles. Hence, sea surfaces are much warmer along the equator than at the poles.
