Waves

Energy is transferred from water particle to water particle in orbits waves cha-cha slide( orbits, waves, cha-cha slide ).

Tsunamis are examples of free waves forced waves( free waves, forced waves ), while tides are examples of forced waves free waves( forced waves, free waves ).

Gravity Free Forced( Gravity, Free, Forced ) waves pull the crests downward, inertia causes the crests to overshoot and become troughs crests( troughs, crests ).

Deep-water waves move through water deeper than half one-third 1/20 1/10( half, one-third, 1/20, 1/10 ) of their wavelength, and have round flattened( round, flattened ) orbits. Shallow-water waves move in water shallower than 1/20 1/10 half one-third( 1/20, 1/10, half, one-third ) of their original wavelength, and have flattened round( flattened, round ) orbits.

Capillary Wind Tide( Capillary, Wind, Tide ) waves become gravity waves as their wavelength exceeds 1.74 2.34 1.94 3.64( 1.74, 2.34, 1.94, 3.64 ) cm. These wind-induced gravity waves (wind capillary tide( wind, capillary, tide ) waves) continue to grow as long as the wind above them exceeds their speed.

Deep-water Shallow-water( Deep-water, Shallow-water ) waves change to shallow-water deep-water( shallow-water, deep-water ) waves as they approach shore.

A tsunami rogue wave( tsunami, rogue wave ), or "harbor wave," is produced by water displacement wind ocean currents( water displacement, wind, ocean currents ). They are longer shorter( longer, shorter ) and faster slower( faster, slower ) than ordinary waves. They are shallow-water deep-water( shallow-water, deep-water ) waves with wavelengths of up to 150 15 100 10( 150, 15, 100, 10 ) miles and can travel at over 435 235 35 135( 435, 235, 35, 135 ) mph. They are not are( are not, are ) very high in open ocean, but get bigger smaller( bigger, smaller ) as they get closer to shore.
