Earth Sciences

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.

wave period

The pressure gradient decreases. The trade winds weaken, or even blow backwards.

Cold water sinks, while warm water rises.

Temperature differences in water

The doldrums. Also known as the equatorial calms.

Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.

Mr poppins is coming

The trade winds weaken, or even blow backwards.

Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.

I would have assumed that your best friend's best friend was you. If this is not the case, I would tell them to go away and stop bothering me (using slightly stronger language which shouldn't be repeated here).

density

The alluvial silt that covers the land during flooding increases its fertility. This is in addition to the ready supply of fresh water required for any large societal group.

One factor that could account for a drop in the water table is temperature. If temperatures are too warm the water may be evaporating.

spring

Swell "feels" bottom (half the wavelength), circular water particles change to flattened eclipses. Wavelength slows down, but period remains the same, wave becomes too high for its wavelength. Crest moves ahead of the base b/c of a 3:4 ratio of wave height to water depth and breaks.

The only difference - is the direction of flow. A sea breeze blows from the sea onto the land. A land breeze flows in the opposite direction.

The polar jet stream lies between the polar easterlies and trade winds
