Which force acts on a ocean wave as it nears the shore causing it to act differently?
The force that acts on an ocean wave as it nears the shore is called shoaling. Shoaling is the process where the wave interacts with the seafloor, causing the wave to slow down and increase in height. This is what causes waves to break as they approach the shore.
Which force acts on an ocean wave as it nears the shore causing it to act differently?
The force of friction between the ocean wave and the sea floor causes the wave to slow down as it nears the shore. This frictional force results in the wave increasing in height and eventually breaking as it reaches shallow water.
What is a dumping wave?
A dumping wave is a type of ocean wave that breaks quickly and powerfully, with a lot of force towards the shore. It creates a steep, crashing wave face that can be dangerous for swimmers and surfers.
What force acts on a ocean wave as its nears the shore causing it to act differently?
The force of friction between the wave and the seabed as the wave approaches the shore causes it to slow down and increase in height. This interaction, known as wave shoaling, leads to changes in the wave's characteristics, such as height, speed, and steepness.
Why do waves take you into the ocean?
because when a wave breaks onto the shore it gets sucked back into the ocean where the wind will turn it into a new wave, or swell.
What is directly related to deep ocean current?
Movement of the ocean, or tides are directly related to deep ocean currents. Deep ocean currents are also responsible for the wind that causes the waves to crash into the shore.
