i believe you're thinking of "tsunami"
A long large wave caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun is called a tidal wave or a tidal surge. These waves occur due to the gravitational forces of the celestial bodies acting on the Earth's oceans, causing the water levels to rise and fall in a regular pattern.
When an underwater earthquake displacing a large volume of sea water the effect could be a tsunami (tidal wave).
Transverse waves cause matter in the medium to move up and down or back and forth at right angles to the direction of the wave's propagation. Examples of transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like light and water waves in the ocean.
wave pools
A tsumami is a large amount of water arranged into a wave. It is triggered when a large earthquake displaces a large amount of water and sends it hurling towards land. As the deep water wave gets close to land it picks up speed and gains height.
a tide or a large surf wave
It is a large swell, or wave of water.
A deep-water wave.
Yes your exactly right
The speed at which a wave travels through water or another medium is called the wave speed. It is determined by the properties of the medium, such as its density and elasticity.
The froth of the wave is called foam. It is created when air is mixed with water as the wave breaks, forming bubbles and causing the water to appear white and bubbly.
if you are talking about water it is called a tsunami that could knock you into a brick wall or a wall that could make you either die or get unconsious
A large wave is typically caused by strong winds, seismic activity under the ocean, or underwater landslides. When these factors occur, they displace a large volume of water, leading to the formation of a large wave that can travel long distances.
The highest point of a transfer wave is called the crest. It is the peak of the wave where the water is at its highest level.
The high spot of a wave is called the crest. It is the highest point of the wave above the resting position of the water.
No, the moon does not cause tsunamis. The so called 'tidal wave' is not related to the tides at all. A tsunami is an ocean wave caused by an earthquake under the ocean floor. The large movement of the plates creates a huge water displacement that results in the creation of a very large wave.
On a large scale you would call the movement a tide. On a small scale you would call the movement a wave.
