Which have would you expect to have the greatest wave speed?

A deep ocean wave would have the greatest wave speed due to the deep water allowing the wave to travel faster and with less interference than shallow water. The wave speed is directly related to the depth of the water, with deeper water allowing waves to move faster.


What is the relationship between the wave speed in deep water and wavelength called?

The relationship between wave speed in deep water and wavelength is called the phase speed. This is the speed at which the phase of a wave propagates, determined by the wavelength and the properties of the medium. In deep water, the phase speed is directly proportional to the wavelength.


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.


Body of water called sound?

A sound is a long, wide inlet of the ocean or sea that is parallel to the coast. It is generally larger and deeper than a bay. Examples of sounds include Puget Sound in Washington and Long Island Sound in New York.


How does the speed and wave height varies according to the depth of the ocean?

In general, as depth increases in the ocean, wave speed tends to increase due to decreased interference from the ocean floor. However, wave height tends to decrease in deeper water because the energy of the waves spreads over a larger area as it moves away from the shallow water. This means that deep water waves are typically faster but have smaller amplitudes compared to waves in shallow water.

What is a deep current-?

Deep current is a movement of the ocean water. The ocean waters current is continuous.


How deep does a ocean have to be to be called a deep ocean?

because of ocean trenches are so deep that man made water crafts can't go that low


What is the movement of water from the deep ocean to the surface?

Conveyor Belt Cycling describes the movement of the ocean water between surface and deep water.

What are deep ocean currents primarily driven by?

Temperature differences in water


Does sound travel under water in the deep ocean?

MAGIC!!!!! no really, sound travels underwater even fast than out of water. sound is just a vibration that your eardrums hear and send the message to your brain, and your brain converts it into a message that we know as sounds!

DEEP!

What do you call the circulation in ocean that brings deep cold water to the surface?

Ocean convection currents move the deep cold water to the surface of oceans.
