Waves

A wave is a ( ) and ( ) of sea level in a period of several ( ).

Most ocean waves are generated by ( ), but some are generated by ( ) and ( ).

The size of ocean waves depends on the wind ( ), ( ), and ( ).

The wavelength of a wave is defined as the ( ) distance between any two ( ) points on a wave.

The height of a wave is the ( ) distance between a ( ), and the ( ).

Time taken by a wave to travel a wavelength is called ( )

The zero-amplitude location ona wave is known as the ( ).

Only the ( ) wavelength waves survive the travel across an ocean.

Waves break in the ( ) water, due to the condition: H> ( )

A breaker with an enclosing pocket (tube) of air is called ( ).

As waves approach the coast their wavelength ( ).

The definition of ashallow water wave is d<( ), and for a deep-water wave it is d>( ).

Water particales in a deep-water wave move in a ( ) orbit, and in shall water wave, in an ( ).

The speed of shallow waterwaves deponds on on the water ( )

Refraction is when waves ( ) towards an obstacle.

Due to refraction, waves ( ) around islands.

Bouncing of waves due to steep slopes at a coast is called ( ).

( ) of waves when they pass an opening is called Diffraction.

If waves don't come at an ( ), or if they don't ( ), or there is no ( ) motion, then there won't be any Longshore current.

( ) currents are caused by returning water of a longshore current.

( ) are large waves caused by Earthquakes, ( ), or ( ).

The speed of these large shallow water waves depends primarily on the water ( ).

( ) is caused by high speed wainds that blow over coasts.

The area where waves break near a shor is called ( ).

Due to refraction, waves ( ) inside a bay and converge on ( ).

Due to intense wave action, headlands are always ( ).

Waves of similar wavelength break at the same ( ).

The depth to the ( ) is half the wavelength.

Below the ( ) thre is no motion due to waves.

To make a ship move less due to waves,m the ships hull must reach below the ( )

Wave ( ) causes all waves that enter a bay to take the shape of the bay just beofre they break.

Wave parameters like height, length, and period can be measured using ( ).

Due to higher wind speeds, winter waves are ( ) than summer waves.

Extremely large waves that form due to ( ) of different wave sets are called rogue waves.

As a wave passes by any point what happens to the sea level at that point?

Diffraction is a combination of ( ).

If the left side of a wave enters shallow water first, then that wave will bend towards the ( ).
