the pacific and Atlantic oceans meet at the tiny gap between cape horn and Antarctica. This causes huge waves to form as the oceans collide.

What does around the horn mean?
I think it is referring to Cape Horn in South Africa that ships circumvent in traveling in that area. It has nothing to do with music.AnswerThe "Horn" is Cape Horn, the southernmost tip of South America, which has some of the wildest wind, waves, rocky shores and currents in the world, and was especially difficult and challenging for sailing ships to travel westwards (into the prevailing westerly gales). So "rounding the horn" was a significant accomplishment.
Why are the seas so rough near cape town?
What makes Cape Horn so dangerous is the water depth. The average depths of the Drake Passage are 2500 to 4000 metres, until you get within 100 miles of the Cape. Then it comes up sharply to a shelf of less than 100 metres deep. Waves crossing the Southern Ocean have nothing to affect their path as they surge relentlessly around the earth until they squeeze around Tasmania, or squeeze through the Drake Passage. When the underwater mass of a wave hits this shelf near Cape Horn it causes the waves to steepen, and shorten the gaps between them. You can feel the change in wave action miles out from the shelf.
Why are the waves in Nazare so big?
The waves in Nazare are so big because of the underwater Nazare Canyon, which funnels and amplifies the incoming swells, creating massive waves that break near the shore.

Why are Nazar waves so big?
Nazar waves are so big because of a unique underwater canyon that funnels and amplifies the incoming swells, creating massive waves that can reach heights of over 100 feet.
What Happens to the sound waves from a moving source such as a car with its horn honking when the sound waves are moving in the same direction as the car?
The wavelength is compressed by the additional velocity of the car, so the frequency heard is higher than that generated in the horn. It's known as the Doppler Effect.

Why are some waves so big and other not so big?
The tide is constantly changing. The waves are formed by energy surging through the air so some energy is lighter which causes smaller and some energy is bigger and more powerful
What is the big idea of waves?
The idea is that waves are an essential part of the working of our Universe, so if we want to learn how the Universe works, waves are one thing we have to learn about.
Why are Nazare waves so big compared to other surf spots?
Nazare waves are big because of the underwater Nazare Canyon, which funnels and amplifies the incoming swells, creating massive waves that break near the shore.
