The depth at which the wave no longer affects the water. This is equal to half the wavelength.
Water base
Thermocline
the Abyss
The Fetch
Why do they call the waves that crash into the shoreline “Breakers”?
As the waves approach the shore, the waves speed up. The incoming waves stablize and bottom out on the shoreline.
The National Break Dancers conference is held at the beach every year.
As the waves approach the shore, the waves slow down. The incoming waves become unstable and their crest collapses
This is where most people go when they are on spring break
Ok my friend,
If the day comes that you find yourself trapped in a RIP CURRENT.....WHAT CHA GONNA DO???
Bob up and down and scream for the lifeguard.
Swim to the side of the rip current
Swim straight into the rip current and let it run its course
Swim back up towards the shore
What is a Current?
A strong wave
An area of stability
An area of instability
Forceful moving water
Gentle movement of the water
When the ocean water swrils around a vortex and creates a whirlpool, this is called a:
gyre
upwelling
Rip Current
A Portal
When the ocean water currents bring up nutrients from the ocean bottom.
gyre
upwelling
Rip Current
A Portal
What is the relationship between the ocean water and a wave?
The waves energy travels through the ocean water.
The ocean wave is an example of moving ocean water.
The Latent heat of the ocean water provides the power for the waves.
The waves are a permanent topping for the ocean water.
The DEAD SEA has no plant or animal life because of the high salt content how did this high salt concentration developed.
Extreme volcanic activity
There is no input of freshwater
There was a salt water intrusion from the ocean
Extreme pollution from the people of that area.
Why does salt water freeze at a lower freezing point than fresh water? Do you suppose nature could cause it to freeze at an even lower freezing point?
The addition of the salt will change the freezing point of water.
The addition of the salt hinders the release of latent heat.
The addition of the salt changed the water chemically.
If more salt was added to the ocean water, the freezing point would become lower.
The tidal range is lowest during this time
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
During a full or new moon, the Sun, Earth, and Moon are all lined up
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
Solar tides diminish lunar tides, causing high tides to be lower and low tides to be higher than normal
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
have a greater tidal range during the winter in the northern hemisphere, when Earth is closest to the Sun
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
This will causes the high tide to be HIGHER, and the low tide to be LOWER
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
When there is a first or third-quarter moon, the Sun the Moon, and Earth form a right angle
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
