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.

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.
In which atmosphere layer do humans live most of their lives
Humans live their lives in the troposphere.
In what way does ocean water move globally
Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.
