Why did the oceans become shallower during the last ice age?
Much of North America, and other parts of the globe were covered in ice that was as much as two or three kilometers thick. Remnants of those glaciers are still with us. And also to a lesser extent in some of the Earth's mountain ranges such as the Rocky Mountains.Much of the precipitation that originated as evaporation from the surface of the oceans fell as snow over the land and formed into glaciers. That was the reason the ocean levels were lower than they are today.
If freshwater rivers drain into the oceans does that make the oceans become less salty?
Yes
What would happen to the oceans if surface runoff and groundwater flow did not occur?
the oceans would become smaller
When deep water waves reach water shallower than one half of their wavelength they become what water waves?
When deep water waves approach water shallower than half their wavelength, they are transformed into shallow water waves. These waves have shorter wavelengths and slower speeds due to interacting with the sea floor, causing their amplitudes to increase as the water becomes shallower.
How do you spell shallower?
That is how you spell shallower (more shallow, less deep).
In which seas do dolphin live?

Shallow, shallower, shallowest.
When did the oceans become important to study?
200 Years Ago
Why do some oceans appear blue while others appear green?
The color of the ocean appears blue or green based on the amount of phytoplankton and the depth of the water. Oceans with less phytoplankton and deeper water tend to appear blue, while those with more phytoplankton and shallower water tend to appear green.
Why does water collect in oceans and lakes?
Water runs down hill where it gathers in low spots that become lakes oceans and seas.
Where do water waves become shallow water waves?
when waves reach shallower the one half their wave length they begin to interact with the ocean floor
What does octopus uses for shelter?
They live in deep oceans, around warmer waters. Some octopus have been know to live in shallower waters. Most of them live in salt water, but some have been known to live in fresh water.
