What is the difference between a deep water wave and a shallow water wave?

The basic differences are that the deep water wave "spreads out" and moves very quickly across open water. Wave height is not "significant" in these waves. When the wave reaches shallow water, however, it "slows down" at the leading edge. This causes the wave to "bunch up" and increase in height, even to dangerous proportions. A 20 or 30 metre high wave would devastate a shoreline, but would be hardly noticeable if it passed beneath a ship in deep water.


How dangerous are tsunami in the open ocean and why?

Tsunamis in the open ocean are not dangerous at all; they aren't even noticeable. In deep ocean water a tsunamis is only a few feet to a few inches high and dozens of miles long. It is only when a tsunami reaches shallow water that it gains height.


Why do put hot water on a deep splinter?

Applying hot water to a deep splinter can help soften the skin, making it easier to remove the splinter without causing further damage or pain. The warmth can also help to open up the pores, possibly allowing the splinter to work its way to the surface on its own.


What is the name of the process of using water to open up cracks deep underground?

The process of using water to open up cracks deep underground is called hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking. This technique involves injecting high-pressure water, often mixed with sand and chemicals, into subsurface rock formations to create fractures, allowing oil or natural gas to flow more freely. Fracking is widely used in the extraction of fossil fuels, particularly in shale formations.
