Ocean Waves
Explain The Movement Of Water Molecules Within a Wave: The water molecules move in circles & get tighter & will soon disappear
What Do Waves Transmit Across The Sea? Energy
Explain Wave Anatomy:
What Are Most Waves Generated By? Wind,when wind blows across the sea surface the friction between the air & water makes small ripples
When Do Waves Reach Their Maximum Size? Between the Antarctic & Indian Sea
What Is A Wave Train? What Happens When There Is Interference Of Wave Trains? A group of wind driven waves. Can cause a confused sea
What Is A Rogue & How Big Can They Get? A large wave & can reach a height of 100 ft.
What Happens To Waves in Shallow Water? The wave changes dramatically. ( Speed, direction & speed)
What Is A Swash? What Does It Do? Foaming sheets of water that rolls up & down the beach
What Is A Tsunami? a long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, or other disturbance
What Are Some Causes Of Tsunamis? Underwater landscape,Volcanic Eruptions , Astroids falling into sea , Most caused by earthquakes

Bill Nye Video Notes
What are three things that travel in waves?
Light, Sound & Particles
What are three of the properties of water?
Wavelength, Frequency, & Amplitude
Why do light break into patterns when it is run through thin slits?
It travels in different frequencies
Do X-rays have higher or lower frequency than light waves?
Higher
Define Wavelength?
Distance Between a wave
What causes waves on the ocean?
Wind
What are the waves in the earth called?
Seismic Wave
Define Frequency?
Speed of the wave
Define amplitude?
The height of the wave
What kind of wave travels by squeezing & spreading?
Compression Wave
