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 what way does ocean water move globally

Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.

What is an effect of La Nia

Mr poppins is coming

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

evaporation

Why do oceanographers take measurements of the conductivity of the seawater

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