AllwavesUniversityNone Created by: Annal22Created on: 20-01-17 13:09 An example of this force, would be shear force generated by interaction between wind and surface waters. friction 1 of 18 The distance over which wind blows (across the sea). fetch 2 of 18 Waves will break when the become too ........... . steep 3 of 18 Term used to describe the ocean when there are random waves of different heights and sizes. sea 4 of 18 Term used to describe the ocean when there is smooth sea surface and light winds. swell 5 of 18 Another term for wave interference. superposition 6 of 18 The process which takes place as waves hit a coastline at an angle. refraction 7 of 18 The time taken for a wave to move the equivalent distance of one wavelength. period 8 of 18 Another term for wave speed. celerity 9 of 18 The number of waves which pass a certain point in a given time. frequency 10 of 18 The force which pulls water equally in all directions. surface tension 11 of 18 The force which causes water to fall from wave crests to troughs. gravity 12 of 18 When energy is passed on by water particles in a wave, water particles move in a ............ motion. circular 13 of 18 A group of similar waves (considering wavelength and size), travelling in the same direction. train 14 of 18 Waves ............. around an object, spreading out behind it. diffract 15 of 18 The area of the sea where waves break. surf zone 16 of 18 The ocean monitoring system used to track El Nino. TOGA 17 of 18 As vorticity of a water column changes, so does ............. to compensate. height 18 of 18
