What is the distance a wave travels over time called?
The distance a wave travels over time is called wavelength. It is the distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase.
What is the name of a wave that curves over and breaks?
A wave that curves over and breaks is called a "curling" or "cresting" wave. This process occurs when the wave's energy is concentrated at the crest, causing it to collapse and break.
What is the distance between two consecutive poits in phase in a wave called?
The distance between two consecutive points in phase in a wave is called the wavelength. It represents the distance over which the wave's shape repeats itself.
What is a small wave called?
surface wave
How does the depth of the ocean affect the shape and speed of a Wave?
A wave's energy moves in a circular pattern and the deeper the water column, the faster the wave travels and the smaller its size e.g. it has low steepness. As it approaches the shore and the water becomes shallow, the bottom of the wave drags on the ocean floor which slows the bottom of the wave down but the top of the wave continues at the same speed. Eventually the top of the wave gets so far ahead of the bottom that it topples over forming a breaker.
What are breaking waves and how do they form in the ocean?
Breaking waves are waves that collapse and break as they approach the shore. They form when the energy of the wave interacts with the ocean floor, causing the wave to slow down and increase in height until it eventually topples over. This process is influenced by factors such as the depth of the water, the shape of the coastline, and the speed of the wave.

What does topple mean?
To cause to fall. Such as U.S. Forces topples the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

What is it called when a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave combine?
it is called a seismic wave
What is a small wave called?
surface wave
Why did the table break in the song on AFV part 500?
A larger girl stands on it while singing. She falls off and the table topples over, breaking in the process.

What is the distance between the trough of one wave to the next trough?
The distance between the trough of one wave to the next trough is called the wavelength. It is the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.
What is height of the wave called?
The height of a wave is called the amplitude. The top of the wave is called the crest. The bottom of the wave is called the trough.The frequency of the wave is the number of wave crests passing a given point in a specific amount of time. Frequency is measured in hertz.
