In deep water, water particles move in circular orbits as a wave passes overhead. The orbits decrease in size with depth, eventually becoming negligible below half the wavelength of the wave. This circular motion is limited to the upper part of the water column and does not significantly affect deeper water layers.
What else can I help you with?
How is the path a water particle makes as a wave passes in deep warer described?
The path a water particle takes as a wave passes in deep water is described as circular. As a wave passes, water particles move up and down in a circular motion but do not move forward with the wave itself. The circular motion decreases in size with depth.
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 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.
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.
A wave bending as it passes a point of land is an example of?
refraction. This occurs when the wave changes speed and direction as it moves from one medium to another, in this case from deep water to shallow water near the point of land.

What happens diver go deep under water?
You would blow up from water pressure.
What happens to particles in a medium when sound energy travels through it?
slows down in denser mediums & speeds up in less dense ones this explains why ur voice is so high pitched when u inhale a less dense gas like helium & why sound is deep & distorted underwater.
What happens when the North Atlantic deep water meets the Antarctic bottom water?
a hurricane would form
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.
What happens when waves go from deep water to shallow water?
When a wave goes from deep water to shallow water, it decreases in size and strength. This is because shallow water does not have the required power to transmit the wave, and so its velocity decreases.
What happens when a person passes out from drinking and has used Valium?
They can either just blackout and go into a deep sleep, or have there respiratory system depressed so much they stop breathing.
What happens to diatoms in deep ocean water?
Depending on depth of ocean, the diatoms size shrinks
What happens to rainwater that doesn't evaporate?
This water remain oth Earth surface or go deep.
What part of the water is affected by a wave in deep water?
The water molecules of a deep-water wave move in a circular motion. The diameter of the motion decreases with the distance from the surface. The motion is felt down to a distance of approximately one wavelength, where the wave's energy becomes negligible.
Why can fish survice in water?
If you mean survive, its because the water passes through their gills so they can breathe. They can't live on land. (with a few exceptions!) Anyways, if you are meaning why they can survive the pressure of deep water, I don't know.
