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.

As air parcels cool due to expansion of the rising air mass,
water vapor begins to condense on condensation nuclei such as dust,
ice and salt. This process forms clouds.

🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/16
The distance of the Earth from the sun does not contribute to
the changing seasons. Although this distance does change (since the
Earth's orbit is elliptical, not perfectly circular) the amount of
the change is not great enough to affect the seasons. It is the
angle of incidence of solar radiation, which in turn is affected by
the axial tilt of the Earth and its revolution around the sun,
which creates the changing seasons.

How do waves change as they approach the shore
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.
