What else can I help you with?
When water become dangerous?
Yes and no. Water can be dangerous if there are really big waves. Water can be safe if you are with someone.
Why do big waves happen?
I Belen e they get taller because as the front of the wave hits the shore, it loses energy and slows down, while the back of the wave still has more speed and momentum. The back of the wave catches up with the front, compressing a wide wave into a tall wave. As the wave gets taller while decelerating, naturally the top of the wave falls foreword.
What does sea mean in World geography?
A sea is a big body of water
How are tsunamis different from just big ocean waves?
An ordinary large wave has a short wavelength. When it reaches shore it will break wash in, and wash out in a matter of seconds. A tsunami wave behaves in a much different way. Such waves can be hundreds of miles in wavelength. When they reach shore, they do not behave as breaking waves, but rather come in as a massive surge of water, that continues to come in for several minutes.
What is the difference between seismic wave and tsunami?
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's layers during an earthquake, whereas a tsunami is a series of large ocean waves caused by displacement of water, often triggered by an undersea earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide. Seismic waves originate within the Earth, while tsunamis occur on the ocean's surface.
Why don't most lakes get big waves?
Most Lakes do not get big waves is because they are not a large enough body of water. Lakes only get big waves in storms.
How are waves caused?
waves are caused when it is windy or win like something big hits the water
When water become dangerous?
Yes and no. Water can be dangerous if there are really big waves. Water can be safe if you are with someone.
What type of waves are primary waves?
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
What makes big waves?
Big waves are typically created by strong winds blowing over a large distance of open water, called fetch. The longer the fetch and the stronger the winds, the bigger the waves. Other factors such as storms, tides, and underwater topography can also contribute to the formation of big waves.

Are there any big bodies of water in Hawaii?
There's certainly a big body of water surrounding it
What is the cause of big wave?
Big waves are typically caused by strong winds blowing over a large area of open water, creating a transfer of energy to the surface of the water. In some cases, underwater geological features, such as reefs or underwater canyons, can also contribute to the formation of large waves. Tides, earthquakes, and storms can also generate big waves.
What are simile for waves of the ocean?
Crashing waves Smashing waves Big waves No waves Light waves Heavy waves Noisy waves :)
What is a body of water that links two big bodies of water?
strait
What are good waves?
Big waves
What pushes sea water out under pressure?
Floods, of course. Sea water becomes big like waves (tidal waves), in the sea whoch lead to floods and thus, pushes sea water out under pressure.
