Ocean Waves
1. The wave's movement of water molecules move by moving in a circle.
2. Waves transmit energy across the sea.
3. Waves are mostly generated by wind.
4. Waves are mostly generated by wind.
5. Waves reach their maximum size when they match the speed of the wind.
6. The largest waves are found in the empty stretch between Antarctica and the Indian ocean.
7. Wave train is a group of wind driven in deep water, and develops into swells. When there is an interference of wave trains, it can produce a confused highly irregular sea.
8. Rogue wave is a wave focused on wave trains and currents to produce a large wave. They can reach up to 100ft. and cause many shipwrecks.
9. When waves move into shallow water, it's behavior changes dramatically. Waves move into shallow water, because the water molecules come into contact with the seafloor.
10. Swash is when waves roll up and down the beach shore in foaming sheets of water. Swash is involved in erosion by the waves which are caused by the wind and generates strong currents.
11. A tsunami is the largest and strongest wave on earth. Tsunami is different from a generated wind, because they travel very fast, low height, and the wave crests are miles apart.
12. Causes of tsunamis are underwater landslides, volcanic eruptions, asteroids falling into the sea, and mostly caused by earthquakes.
Global Impact:
1. We can generate electricity from wave powers by, relying on the movement of the waves to turn the turbine for electricity.
2. Wave power can generate electricity two times the world's current electricity.
3. One million people in history died from tsunamis.
4. To help protect people and property by installing warning systems, and rebuild coastal barriers.
Tsunami Warning Systems:
1. The types of warning systems for tsunami are surface buoy, button pressure recorder, sensors, DART System, tsunami evacuation route, tsunami hazard zone, and evacuation shelter.
