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.
Sonar waves.
waves, spreading
sound waves can penetrate the ocean floor.
Scientists use sonar to map the ocean floor by sending sound waves from a ship to the ocean floor. These sound waves bounce back and are picked up by a receiver on the ship, providing information about the depth and texture of the ocean floor. By analyzing the time it takes for the sound waves to return, scientists can create detailed maps of the underwater terrain.
A sonar device is commonly used to emit sound waves and measure the ocean floor. Sonar works by sending sound waves downward, which bounce off the sea floor and return, providing information about the depth and characteristics of the ocean floor.
Tidal waves ?
A sonar instrument emits sound waves to measure the ocean floor. The sound waves travel through the water and bounce back when they hit the seafloor, allowing the instrument to calculate the depth and map the topography of the ocean floor.
A device called a echo sounder or sonar is used to measure the depth of the ocean using sound waves. Sound waves are emitted from the instrument and the time taken for the sound waves to bounce back from the ocean floor is used to calculate the depth.
Sonar.
No, an earthquake on the ocean floor can cause a tsunami (a series of large waves). Earthquakes do not influence weather events such as tornadoes.
because it is The reason for the larger waves in the Pacific Ocean has to do with wind directions and the ocean floors. The ocean floor in the west has a sharp drop-off. This, combined with the winds blowing in from the west, causes the waves to be much larger because they are able to gain more strength. While the ocean floor in the east has a more tapered floor and the winds are blowing out from the west, therefore, making it so they are pushing against the wind.
Im not sure but I think it might affect by making lots of rocks and longer beaches. Sorry if im wrong but you can improve or change.
