Rogue waves (or extreme, freak, killer or monster waves) are waves in the ocean that exceed nominal wave height by several times. These waves pose a threat to anything at sea, be it a fishing boat, a container ship, and aircraft carrier or an oil rig. Reports used to circulate among the men who sailed the sea that large waves could appear without warning. These waves were several times the height of the average swells that were running, and they could wreck or sink a ship. Even as the age of sail gave way to more modern technology, the stories continued. Not a lot of credence was given them, but in the last few decades, real evidence has arisen for the existence of the monster waves other than the reports of observers. Damaged ships, pictures and even a laser determination of a wave height (between a pair of oil rigs) has been recorded. With the use of space-borne radar, wave heights that outstrip "normal" sea heights can be seen without the interference of the rise of the sea surface due to tidal effects. This new, highly accurate assessment tool is opening up a whole new world on extreme waves, and new energy is being poured into investigating sources, numbers, locations and other data on rogue waves. A link can be found below to begin more research.
a rogue wave is a 30m tall wave that forms far out at sea that can sink a cruise liner.It is most likely formed when a stong current goes one direction and a stong wave goes the other.The current pushes the wave and and makes them bigger than normal.They are fairly common in huge storms but hard to find.
Probably by the wave-form of normal waves reinforcing each other (i.e. the various forces which normally cancel each other out can, on occasion, add together to form a giant wave).
Rogue waves form because of swells. This is when waves travel across the ocean at different speeds and ways.
out in deep sea areas-far out in sea-
once in a while
Rogue Moon was created in 1960.
Yes. Rogue waves have been known to capsize ships.
It depends on the size of the surrounding waves - they are defined as waves that are more than twice the size of surrounding waves
A tidal wave (AKA a Tsunami) is caused by an earthquake. It is more of a wall of water and a rise of sea level. when a tidal wave is coming, water will be sucked out from shore rapidly. Tidal waves usually aren't more than 3 feet in open water because in open water it is usually more than 600 feet deep. Rogue Waves can occur in open water and aren't usually caused by earthquakes but just waves that build up. Rogue waves come undetected. Tidal waves have signs. Both are huge in size, up to 100+ ft. Tidal Waves tend to crash on shore while Rogue Waves are violent waves in open water.
tsunami's happen underwater and seismic waves happen on land or underground.
were are waves happen at
Rogue Moon was created in 1960.
One way rogue waves can be produced is are Rogue waves are massive waves that appear out of nowhere. The height that classifies a wave as rogue isn't set in stone. Some experts call a wave rogue if it's twice as high as the other waves surrounding it. Others say that to be rogue a wave only needs be 33 percent taller than surrounding waves ALSO
when large waves join
Yes. Rogue waves have been known to capsize ships.
I have been at sea when the boat was rocked by a rogue wave.
Rogue Ops happened in 2003.
Space Rogue happened in 9801.
Rogue Galaxy happened in 2005.
