|
Measure from Crest to Crest
Shortest are wind generated. medium length are seismic. tides are the longest |
|
|

|
Deep water wave
|
Water is deeper than 1/2 wavelength.
|
|
|
Wave period
|
one half wave height
|
|
|
Wavespeed
|
length of wave over wave period
|
|
|
Wave creation
|
most common is wind, which create small waves called "capillaries".
|

Free waves
|
Generated hundreds of miles out at sea by

|
|
Wave reflection
|
Waves impacting the shore at an angle other than head-on have edges which feel bottow before the rest. This increases the speed of one side and rotates the wave current.
|
|
|
Seismic waves
|
Have a wave bottom wich is deeper than 4000km, which is deeper than the average depth of the ocean.
This means tsunamis are shallow water waves. |
