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.

In boiling water water molecules move apart and escape in the form of water vapor The process is called

evaporation

What force acts against capillary action as water moves through the ground

Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature of all atmosphere layers

IT is closest to the sun

Why would a civilization choose to live near a river that regularly floods

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.

The sunlight zone. Most animal and plant life use the sun to stay alive. The most plant life is found here. There is life in all zones in the ocean but the sunlight zone has the most.

What causes two distinct pressure zones between equator and the poles

Earths rotation

What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the polls

The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
