Why speed of water less in shallow water as compared to deep water?

The speed of water is typically slower in shallow water compared to deep water because the friction between the water and the bottom of the shallow water body slows down the movement of the water. In deep water, there is less friction with the bottom, allowing the water to move more freely and at a faster speed.


Do tsunamis travel faster over shallow water or deep water?

Tsunamis typically travel faster over deep water due to the reduced friction and resistance compared to shallow water. Once they reach shallow water near coastlines, they slow down and can increase in height as the energy is compressed.


What happens to the direction of water wave when it passes from deep to shallow water?

The direction of a water wave typically changes when it passes from deep to shallow water. In shallow water, the wave tends to bend and align itself more with the underwater contours due to the decrease in wave speed and change in wave refraction. This can result in the wave crest aligning more parallel to the shoreline.


What happens to angle of refraction when water waves pass from deep to shallow part of water?

The angle of refraction increases when water waves pass from deep to shallow water. This is due to the decrease in wave speed as the water becomes shallower, causing the waves to bend towards the normal line.


What happen to the angle of refraction when water pass through deep shallow part of water?

When water passes from a deep part to a shallow part, the angle of refraction increases. This is because the speed of light in water decreases as depth decreases, causing the light to bend more as it enters shallower water.
