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 else can I help you with?
How come tsunamis happen in in few areas and not in the others?

Do tsunamis happen when a cyclones happen?
No. Cyclones are weather, tsunamis are geological. Sometimes if the hurricane is big enough and starts out way deep in the ocean then there is a good chance it can cause large waves, but a wave generated by a hurricane is not the same as a tsunami.
What is the difference between a tsunami and seismic waves?
Seismic waves are vibrations caused by the movement of the Earth's crust during an earthquake, whereas a tsunami is a series of ocean waves triggered by an underwater earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide. Seismic waves travel through the Earth, while tsunamis primarily move across the ocean surface.

How often waves happen?
Waves occur continuously in nature, such as ocean waves, sound waves, and light waves. The frequency of the waves depends on the specific type of wave and the source generating it. Some waves, like ocean waves, occur in a rhythmic pattern, while others, like seismic waves, can be sporadic.

When do you go to Hawaii to see the big waves?

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.
Is it easier to learn to shortboard on small waves or big waves?
Big waves as it catches better but then how big is big ? they don't work very well on small waves such as 1-3 foot. i would use them in about chest high conditions 4foot + and over head conditions and bigger. have fun !
